Yea, I also get same problem, when tried to install with ubiquity from latest Ubuntu Feisty (Herd5), backported to Edgy on HP Pavilion dv6103eu with preinstalled OEM Windows XP
This is very often problem with preinstalled Windows, as when you turn on the computer, then Windows OEM configurator starts automatically and there are no way to quit it (or shutdown the computer), except of pressing power button...
So, ubiquity should display an simple and exact error message, where is explained why Windows disk can't be resized and how to solve this problem, for example:
Your NTFS partition journal is unclean, probably because of improper shutdown of Windows OS. Please shutdown Windows OS properly before trying to resize NTFS partitions!
Also you can run 'chkdsk DRIVE_LETTER' command from installed Windows OS or from Windows installation CD to fix NTFS partition.
Note, if you have run chkdsk previously then boot Windows again (or start chkdsk from Windows installation CD) which will automatically initialize the journal correctly.
I'm attaching gzipped /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman, but they have the same error like in previously pasted by dipres:
NTFS journal file is unclean. Please shutdown Windows properly before using this software! Note, if you have run chkdsk previously then boot Windows again which will automatically initialize the journal correctly.
