Maybe you a have an upgrade cd that requires you to have 10.1 or something installed. It may also be the case that the first partition is the larger one; if so, then you have to reformat so that the first partition on your drive is less than 8GB. To see if that is the case, you can open Drive Setup and take a look at the arrangement of the partitions (or maybe you can find that from Apple System Profiler, I'm not sure).
