Are you booting off the live cd? In case you aren't, I would do that.
I've had better luck using the partioner when booting offthe cd.

Also, I have a windows partition on my computer, but I have the bare
minimum allocated to it (weelll, something like 15G). Then, in XP I've
installed the ext2/ext3 ifs driver for Windows and mount my /home
partition as a drive letter. This allows me to access all my important
files in either OS. Admittedly, I spend maybe 2 hours in Windows a
month, so I've set this up to be more convenient from Linux than
Windows. However, I've also tried the opposite, storing Linux data on
NTFS and it doesn't work nearly as well as using ext3 in Win.
