I had a discussion about this issue and similar to http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6617_102-0.html?forumID=11&threadID=256421&messageID=2540073 they found it was fixed if they shrank the partition by 1GB and then grew it back up 1GB.
There must be a bug in that partition software or maybe on Microsoft's end but I can't find the bug or decide which end of the stick to blame.

PS. I would be remiss if I didn't write the word "Backup" before trying that.
Hello,
I recently tried ubuntu on my laptop and decided I didnt like it, so I took it off my laptop. As I had it installed on a different partition I simply deleted the partition and rebuilt mbr. However, although Vista is running fine, I do have a problem. I extended my Vista partition to include the ubuntu partition but now vista wont see that my harddrive is not 40gb but is actually 74gb. As you can see from below screenshot its seems to be quoting both 40gb and 74gb as the drive size.

Any ideas how I can get Windows to see me hard drive as 1 74gb partition without doing a reformat?
