Just wanted to add, since this failed to do the ntfsresize i tried
myself by setting my partion to 75G then going into fdisk and deleting
the partion and recreating it as 75G. I didn't have much to lose if the
windows blew up, it was more an excersize in doing it. I continued with
the install by allocating my new free space to ubuntu back in the wizard
in console 1 and finished the install, everything went fine until the
reboot. Grub had found my windows parttion in the last step but then i
was greated with an invalid disk.

I booted from a rescue disk and was able to mount the ext3 on part 4 and
follow these instructions to grub running. Substituting my the
device.map located on my ubuntu partion and menu.lst for the conf file.
I ran the commands against part 4 and hd1 instead of hd0, considering my
particular situation.

Root (hd1,4)
setup (hd1)

My best guess is that grub must also have a problem with grabbing that
last partition, just like ntfsresize, there were a number of quoted bugs
regarding this online, a few mentioned it might be a recently introduced
reversion

While my windows part won't boot, it is listed but says the ntldr is
missing, i'm sure i can fix that later should i care to. Te files are
intact when i mount that part in ubuntu, so i probably didn't do the
resize incorrectly. Just in case your wondering.
