Hi,

Sorry, I was away and didn't have time yet to answer your former ntfsresize 
emails (afair, you also found the solution yourself which is in the manual 
and at end of the ntfsresize output).

fdisk can also corrupt the partition table which results the behavior you 
described. Though it doesn't happen so often as with parted.

I seriously suggest to investigate the partition table changes from byte to 
byte and set exactly what Vista expects or which worked before 

You can also safely reboot into Vista after ntfsresize, no need to do the 
partitioning at the same time. If Vista boots then it's not ntfsresize 
problem, if it doesn't then it's ntfsresize problem.

So far there were only positive feedbacks using ntfsresize with Vista (it 
started to included a built-in ntfs resizer but it corrupts ntfs, so people 
still use ntfsresize instead). If there were some problem with ntfsresize 
on Vista then we should hear much more similar reports.
