I experienced the same problem -- run chkdsk /f (or is it (-f) in windows.
this is a ubuntu security feature because it has to resize a windows
partition, it needs to ensure it wont move half the windows folder to ext4
or something like that.
SOLUTION: boot into windows run chkdsk /f , restart
Run Scan Disk in Windows and then try the Ubuntu installer again.
If that doesn't make any difference then heres a tutorial video I made on
using the Manual Partition Editor in Ubuntu Installer

I gave TestDisk a go (as recommended by a message in GParted) and I got a
message saying that space conflicts between two of my partitions. Could
this be what the problem is? Does anybody know how to fix that?
Here's the output from TestDisk on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/KVrPsgrN

If gparted sees only unallocated space, I
Hmm, okay. I'll try and get hold of another disk to back everything up.
I believe this was indeed Microsoft's fault, I recently re-installed
Windows 7, before which I had no problems with the partition table.
I don't think it was anything on the original installation, I partitioned
and installed

Okay, I've uploaded the output of sudo fdisk -l on pastebin, here:

As far as I can see the partitions are all found correctly there.
