Issues Uninstalling Ubuntu; Not recoginzing full size of partition after resizing?

I had an XP home and Ubuntu dual boot installation and I tried to uninstall Ubuntu by following this guide: http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p18.htm.

I did the first step successfully and restored the windows boot loader with FIXMBR.

The second step however didn’t go so well. I used gparted on the Ubuntu Live CD to delete the Linux partitions but when to tried to resized the Windows NTFS partition from 37 GB to 75 GB it came up with an error. However when I rebooted and when back into gparted it appered as though it worked and showed the NTFS partition as being 75 GB. Though when I restarted into windows and checked the c: drive in My Computer it still showed the size as 37 GB. Though when I check the size in windows Diskpart it shows the size as 75 GB.

What am I doing wrong?

I don’t have to reformat after resizing, do I?
