Installing on PM45-- mounting HD trouble!

So I can't get this to install. I tried pressing F8 once the disc loaded. Then I hit "-v -x -s -F cpus=1" then after hitting enter i get to the setup and everything seems fine until I get asked where to install OS X. There are no options, so clicked on "Disk Utility" and tried to mount my drive but it wouldn't let it. I have one 200GB NTFS partition (windows 7) and one 50GB HFS+ (for OS X) plus 50GB of free unpartitioned space. For some reason it detects it as a Linux file format and not HFS+ like I thought it would. Either way, I restarted my computer hit "-v -x -s -F cpus=1" again then this time tried sbin/fsck -fy and sbin/mount -wd. After I entered the two lines it says the drive is mounted and that fsck is done. I then type exit like it says then I see a message that says "Singleuser boot -- fsck not done" followed by "Root device is mounted read-only"! Unless it's talking about the disk drive, otherwise I don't know what is going on.

 

On another note I tried changing my SATA controller from ACPI(?) to IDE/IDE-E to RAID. And I still encounterd the same problem.

 

And please don't tell me to use the search function, it doesn't work for me! It keeps telling me I don't have permission, but I activated my account on here. It already takes me about 10 tries just to log onto this site. And anyway, I went through 15 pages on here only to find one other thread with a problem like mine but nobody helped him unfortunatly. Please somebody help me and therefore everybody else who reads this having problems like me!
