help reformatting

[iCheese]

I am trying to make a second partition on the internal HDD of my Macbook usking Disk Utility. Disk Utility is being run after booting up from the OS X install DVD.

I get an error of

"Partition failed with the error

Filesystem verify or repair failed"

What is going on? How do I fix it so I can make a partition?

thanks
