Thanks, I gave that a shot and it didn't seem to do anything. I did find, however, that once I got rid of the NTFS partition (windows) that all of the sudden disk utility was able to resize the drive, check it, and even repair it.

So, I'm still not exactly sure what happened, but it sounds like the windows partition was the culprit. Thanks for all the help guys.
