I am using Windows XP and Linux on a dual boot system and after resizing the partitions, Windows hangs just before login. I shrank the Linux partition and enlarged the Windows partition using GParted.

Linux still works and the Windows files are still accessible from Linux, but Windows freezes before the login screen pops up, so that you can see a Windows logo on a blue background. The same happens in safe mode.

I tried tried chkdsk /p, fixmbr and fixboot inside the recovery console but the problem remains.

Any ideas?

You MAY need to do a repair install. Boot off of the Windows XP CD, but instead of the recovery console, continue with setup. Right after the EULA agreement, you can select your current Windows XP installation to Repair Install over. Give that a try
