It would help if you could tell us what your partition layout is and attach your /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf.
the disk had the following partions /dev/sda1 is an extended partition /dev/sda5 is / (xfs) /dev/sda6 is swap /dev/sda7 is /home (xfs) /dev/sda5 has the boot flag set
The installer is deprecated.
