Very first error in Eclipse..Stumped

I am completely stumped with an error message I keep getting in Eclipse. Researched through the forum and did not find a similar question asked nor any viable return search from google. After downloading the source code for android, unzipping, and selecting root folder to import I get "cannot import project" "Name is in use" message. However if I select a previous file I worked on (not through buzztouch) I can select it. Not exactly sure what the problem could be. I have tried redownloading source, renaming zip, and even compiling another app with the same message. I have a feeling it is something simple. I have worked on other apps in eclipse outside of using buzztouch so I am pretty sure it is not a adt..sdk issue. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. I have read through forum rules, but if I am violating in anyway let me know. 1st Post :)

Welcome! Do you have a project of that name already in your workspace directory? It's typically located at C:\workspace

Thanks for the reply. I eventually figured it out. .meta was the culprit. I ran into quite a few issues that thanks to the forum I was able to solve quickly and get my 1st app up and running. Key to it all is installing your android development environment the way buzztouch instructs. I have previously worked with sdk/eclipse and figured I had all the necessary configurations. Wrong!
