I have a 2 year old HP Pavilion dv1000 laptop running Windows XP SP2
Professional (Pentium M 1.73 GHz, 1 GB Memory, 80 GB 5400rpm HDD) and
Fedora Core 7 (HDD Layout: 64 GB - NTFS, 1 GB - Linux Swap, 9 GB -
ext3, 204 MB - QuickPlay). I had recently installed Fedora, and as I
have always done, ever since I started using Linux in 2003, I used
Partition Magic 8 to resize my partitions. 2 days ago, when I decided
to install Linux, I resized my old 74 GB NTFS partition to a 64 GB
partition for 10 GB to be available for Linux. Now, I have been
having problems with Windows XP when I leave standby (or hibernate),
the computer locks up at the "Unlock Computer" screen (I use classic
logon with CTRL-ALT-DELETE enabled, on a workgroup). To fix the
problem, I have to shut down the computer (meaning pressing the power
button for 5 seconds) and restart it.
 
In Windows, rightclick the drive icon, Properties, Tools tab, and use "Error
Checking" for the drive

I just did a chkdsk /f on the disk, it reported no problems.
