I'll take a look and see if I can spot a problem.

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 ? 3224498923 3657370039 216435558+ 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sdb2 ? 3272020941 930513678 976730017 16 Hidden FAT16
/dev/sdb3 ? 0 0 0 6f Unknown
/dev/sdb4 50200576 974536369 462167897 0 Empty
Partition table entries are not in disk order
This ntfs partion is found by liloconfig in the installer and it adds /dev/sdb1 as a windows partion in lilo.conf and lilo fails to install
It's really easy to fix by chrooting into /mnt in the installer and removing the /dev/sdb1 ntfs line in lilo.conf but for those how are new it might be horrible!
