After yesterday's problems, my disk partitioning is now messed up to
the point that I can no longer install Lucid. When I attempted to
install from the Alternate CD, it somehow resized my Karmic extended
partition to the end of the disk. No problem, I thought, I just
resized it back so that I have 25 GB unallocated space for Lucid. But,
the Lucid partitioner still refuses to use it.

For more details, including a screenshot of my current partitions:
