It's possible that it checks the boot sector for changes, e.g. against
viruses, rootkits, etc. A few vital NTFS information __must__ be changed
there when the volume is resized. Perhaps these modifications are
interpreted as security risk so it silently refuses to boot.
Many people use ntfs-3g with Vista fine. And the code is the same, so the
reason must be something trivial, boot/security related issue.

Could you manage to get a final Vista or is this old the pre-Beta1?
I still didn't get any feedback.
