you can also use qtparted.it is open source and free.

instead of using disk druid for partitioning manually partition ur both hddisks
and properly format manually both the hddisks with one hdds partition making root point and swap partition....

Usually it shows the existing partitions and provisions to modify it. You should have a root filesystem (/). The SWAP filesystem is optional, but RedHat clones seems to be picky about the SWAP partition and its size. So once you install LINUX you can change SWAP from a partition to a local file.

You better run fdisk though the installation utility or on one of the terminals available with the utility. Try to create a SWAP partition with almost double the size of memory.
