Have no idea why your getting "command not found" message after you've installed the .deb file. I'm sure you already did this, but just in case: try again and make sure that no typos happen on the fixparts command. Other than that, I have no clue why it's not working because it should. (You can't seem to get a break can you? Nothing seems to want to cooperate for you.)
Try running parted command this way in a terminal and see if it returns something different from before:
Post back the output.
I'm really at a loss on solving this now. It seems to me that you're not doing anything wrong and your drive clearly shows that you've pre-shrunk Windows and correctly left unpartitioned space on the disk for LL; so normally there would be no problem installing at this point.
P.s. Do you happen to have a spare hard drive laying around that you can add to your desktop system? Maybe you can just keep Windows on its current drive and install LL to the second one.
