Sounds like you're trying to install to a database that you've already installed to previously. If this is a seperate website then you'll need to create a new database and user and use those new details to install a second version onto MODX. Alternatively, drop all the tables in the current database if that site/install is no longer needed and then you can go ahead and install into that database.
