domstyle Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Have a compaq laptop which came w/ vista pre-installed, and a second partition for recovery (i assume, since there was no DVD).Resized the windows partition and installed Ubuntu linux w/ grub. Dual-boot action worked perfectly. Quickly discovered that we hadn't allocated enough space for windows (does vista really consume 25gb?!!).Ran gparted-livecd to resize the partitions, gave vista a total of 60-some-odd gbs.Now, Vista doesn't boot. It shows the loading screen with the bar that bounces back and forth, but never loads past that (ran overnight).Tried all the boot options AND tried to boot from the recovery partition (black screen). Linux boots fine - I can even mount my NTFS partition and copy files from linux.Does anyone know what may be the issue here? I'd like to run chkdsk, but can't get anywhere without an install DVD :(hhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
