I had the same problem but didn't know to even run ntfsresize. Tried to resize
ntfs partition, took a while, did nothing. It took me a long time to figure out
it was because the ntfs partition had bad blocks. It would be nice if the
Ubuntu installer reported this error instead of just returning to the partition
table with no changes made and no explanation.
