Dual-boot problem (Windows Vista doesn't boot)

Installed Fedora 16 x86_64 LXDE a few months ago.

Before installation I resized my C:-partition from inside of Windows so I could get some free space to install Fedora on (so I would be able to dual-boot with Fedora and Windows Vista). The installation went fine and Fedora is usable and all BUT I am not able to boot Windows Vista anymore! If I choose my Windows-partition from the GRUB-menu Windows starts booting but then suddenly the machines just reboots itself and I'm back at the GRUB-menu!

What can I do to get Windows working again?

(I'm able to access my Windows-files from within Fedora but it would be nice if I could use Windows too...)
