i'd try removing the parition and repairing the disk/disk permissions before trying again.

You'll have to boot up with your Leopard install disk then at the install screen select Utilities - Disk Utility. Then run repair on your hard drive. (you cant do this in OSX as you're using the hard drive at the time!

A couple of times when ive had to reinstall the windows partition if had to repair this and that's cleaned it up.
