I was using a Xubuntu Feisty snapshot (20070226) live CD.
I tried to install on a 40GB hard disk with one ntfs partition (using
the whole space). When it came to the partitioner in the installation
process there was an error.
When I tried the automatic resize mode, I set the new partition size
(to ca. 50%) and then the error message said:
"Resize operation failure.
An error occured while writing the changes to the storage devices.
The resize operation is aborted."
Afterwards the partitioner gets started (just like in manual mode)
showing the partition scheme on the disk.
Trying the manual mode yielded the same error after I set the new
partition size and hit "Continue" (on the "it could last long"
message).
