Resizing Partitions Fails

Hi all, first post here so I hope this is in the correct forum. Basically my problem is this: I want to resize my C: partition to make a new NTFS partition for installing Vista 5308. I have never had a problem doing this before but this time Partition Magic 8 gave me an Error: 723. I figured no big deal, I would try again, and once more the same error. So then I looked around and most people recomended to run CHKDSK. I ran it both plain and with the /f and /r options. Still the same error. Next I tried a Linux live CD with a partition application (GParted was the specific one) it failed too and just gave a generic error message. I ran CHKDSK again and tried the CD and Partition Magic again. Still no luck.

So, I was wondering, has anyone else run into this problem before and if so how did you fix it? I know reformatting would work but I don't really want to do that except as a last resort, I am thinking I need a disk repair tool of some sort, but I am not sure. Thanks in advance!
