Angry Can't install 11.1 - fs supposedly faulty

I've currently installed Windows 7 RC x64 on one of my four partitions and wanted to install openSuse 11.1 x64 alongside it.
So I downloaded the install dvd, burned it and booted off it. It runs well, until it comes to "Disk".

There, it claimed that all four of my partitions supposedly have an "inconsistent file system"
One I might have understood, but all four?
It therefore wanted to format all four of them
I exited and went back to Windows, where I ran chkdsk on all four partitions, using "Automatically fix filesystem errors". Not surprisingly, it didn't find anything.

I've then re-run the installer, but it still insisted that the fs of all four partitions are inconsistent
So I have then re-run chkdsk again for all four partitions (still nothing), run the verification for the installer (which didn't come up with any errors), and I've also run the memory test, two full passes - which didn't find any errors either (yet wasted almost two full hours).

Still, the installer insists on its lunacy with the "inconsistent fs"
What can I do to bring some sense into its head?

Besides that, why doesn't the installer support 1920x1200 - or any widescreen resolutions at all, at that?
The best I can do is 1600x1200, but that results in anything being stretched like chewing gum, looking ugly.
