    Windows 7 Boot errors after expanding windows 7 partition

    Glad to hear it. Fortunately the designers of Vista (and W7) included the ability for the OS to boot to a temporary user profile so that repairs like this could be made easily. Fixing this problem on XP was much more difficult. Thanks for posting back.

    Windows 7 Boot errors after expanding windows 7 partition
