Do you have free (unpartitioned) space on your HDD that you plan to install Linux on?

well mandrake allows u to add a partition thru the setup, it should be right after this error.

It could be buggy, or ntfsresize might not be working quite right. I think you should try making unpartitioned space manually and then installing.
