Same issue.

Platform Information
Machine: Inspiron E1505
Memory: 2 gig PC 533
HD: Hitachi 60gig 7200 rpm

Dual boot with Window Media Home and Ubuntu 7.06.
On window boot, i have Partition Magic that has only worked one time when I first make partition for ubuntu.

On ubuntu boot, i have QParted that have never worked. It is throwing error message exactly like others have described "ped_disk_duplicate during installation".

While waiting for this to be fixed, please use alternative tool (gparted).
Get the latest from Synaptic
ntfsresize
gparted

After installation
sudo gparted

Good luck.
