If you have the space i would advise trying to see if you can increase the Windows 7 partition up to about 20GB . My first install of Windows 7 was to a complete 80GB drive, but i decided that wasnt enough space to test it with other things i am using, so i put it on a new 1TB drive.Also using F8 to get to advanced boot options, when the OS choice comes up should give you access to boot with last known good configuration. It sounds like something you ran has maybe corrupted one of the drivers. I would try last known good configuration, first and if that doesnt work then try safe mode again. Also worth removing all non essential peripherals first. If you still get a BSOD, can you make a note of it and post back what it is or is it going straight to reboot? As the bsod should point at whats causing it.

That error indicates NTFS file corruption and sometimes is a symptom of a hard disk going bad. I would backup anything important on the drive then download the drive manufacturers diagnostics and test the drive. Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience

The manufacturer's diagnostics will check the drive. If you have more than one partition then you should back up all of them. If it is a drive problem it could get worse at any time. Every time the drive is accessed there is a potential for file corruption if the drive is going bad. A backup is a sensible precaution. There may be nothing wrong with the drive.It maysomething else caused the corruption. It's easy to check the drive so it's where I would start. You would rather know sooner than later if a drive is going bad.Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience

That's good news! I have seen some older partitioning utilities cause errors like this. What program was it? Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience

I have used Gparted Live to resize (shrink) an ntfs partition with Vista on it with no problems.
