I just got through restoring my wife's completely farkled Windows 7 on a
cheap Compaq machine. It was dead easy and I look like I'm smarter than
I am. We used her Linux on the same machine to recover her data,
downloads and the .ini files for a vertical app she needs to use in in
Windows.
I endorse the other folks' recommendation of Parted Magic (shrink
partitions one-at-a-time from the right end to make space) if you feel
you must enlarge sda1, but I'm pretty sure that sda1 being full is not
the cause of Vista's refusal to start.

On the hard drive we have as follows according to qt partedJohn,
partition size used space start end recovery
1 /dev/sda1 ntfs 15.54 gb N/A 0.03 mb 15.54 gb recovery
2 /dev/sda2 nfts 115.55 gb 37 gb 15.54gb 13108. gb partittion
the rest of the hard drive is filled with opensuse, linux mint etc.
Partittion 1 and 2 is windows vista but won't open probably on account
off sda1 is full, in other words; vista cannot operate unless it has
free space in da1 to backup
Is there a way with "Qt parted" to decrease /dev/sda2 and increase the
backup sda1 by the same in order for vista to backup
