Hi,
Vista went gold. Unfortunately nobody could test the problem with the latest
Vista BETA, hence we don't know if the problem still exists or Microsoft
fixed it.
Thanks to all who did everything he could.

It doesn't look to be a filesystem corruption issue at all. The problem is
exactly that. Seemingly the Microsoft boot process completely ignores the
consistent NTFS and tries to boot via some other way but hangs.
Of course I don't expect Microsoft to fix ntfsresize, the problem is not
there. The problem is how they "boot" or "shutdown". They must be able to
detect that the underlaying file system was consistently changed and they
should adjust their boot process accordingly.
Or they should tell the world what state their OS is and developers can
detect, deny and let users know what they should exactly do to be able to
make modifications safely from non-Windows OSes.
I think Microsoft doesn't know they have a problem because nobody told them
yet. Bug reporting needs beta access but none of us is Vista beta tester.

Andree confirmed that it's true for data partitions as well. You should have
got a copy too.
