I can finally report some good news. Now every time I try (using the latest CD), I get the attached error dialog. The dialog is blank and doesn't have any GUI buttons, but if I close it from the title bar, ubiquity takes me back to the manual partition screen *and* my hard disk isn't hosed. Hooray!
I suggest that a simple message and "Ok" button be put in the error dialog -- maybe something about "the operation failed, perhaps you need to run checkdisk on existing partitions before attempting manual partitioning". But honestly, as long as it doesn't erase data I couldn't care less about the error dialog :-D Thanks again for your diligence on this. I think I'm good now -- and I hope no one else can reproduce this error anymore either.
