After f8 i typed "vanilla".. after sometime system rebooted. next time just hit enter. installtion started. i reached till hdd choice. It showed only sata HDDs.. all partitions NTFS.. i had 10gb unallocated space..to format that 10gb tried to use Diskutility.. but system hanged... I think there is some problem with HDDs..
