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) http://nozell.com/blog/2004/05/08/some-tips-to-reinstall-grub-on-an-hp-proliant-server/ 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.
