hda will be your Mac disk yeah (Mode:ST* Is Seagate btw). hdc is the 
Linux disc (WDC:Western Digital Corporation?).

The fact that you see

  hdc5
  19535 MB

suggests that the disk has been partitioned. The number 5 (hdc5) means 
the 5th partition on disc hdc. And we see it is almost 20GB. This 
explains why trying to add extra partitions fails. The disk is full 
already.

Nothing on there that you need? Delete all the partitions from it with 
YDL's installer. Then continue as you were before.
