Description:   Opened: 2007-07-13 22:05 0000 
With ntfsprogs-1.13.1, ntfsresize makes Vista boot into a black screen where
nothing can be done except forcibly shutting down the computer. When attempting
to boot from the DVD, the same thing happens. A search brought up
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=398122
and after manually installing the ntfsprogs-20070207 snapshot from
http://data.linux-ntfs.org/cvs-snapshots/, and running ntfsfix, Vista indeed
became bootable again.

I can provide emerge --info output (if required) tomorrow, I'm not in Linux
now.

i'm not a fan of doing snapshots of packages when said packages dont have very
active people watching them.  why not ask upstream to make a new release ?

also, sounds like ntfsprogs detected a "broken" windows install and decided to
make sure you didnt use it anymore ;)

There is a fairly recent question about it on the forum already, I'll see if
that gets a reply.

Meanwhile, the ntfsresize homepage is unavailable, but at
<http://web.archive.org/web/20070103010329/http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html>
the patch for ntfsprogs can be downloaded, and I've attached it here. It avoids
the problem in ntfsresize. (It does not change any other utility, so if you're
screwed already, it won't unscrew you.) This is included in the Debian
patchset, too. You could use that if you prefer.

that patch is whitespace damaged, but i fixed it and added to 1.13.1-r1
