This problem has nothing to do with NTFS. Ajwreinhardt incorrectly deleted the partition with qtparted instead of resizing and failed to recreat it at the same sector. The latter is required if one wants his data to appear intact again. However I don't know how qtparted works but if it also formated the partition then ajwreinhardt destoryed not only his partition table but also his NTFS filesystem as well due to his own faults by not following the FAQ instructions.

If Qtparted didn't format the partiton then the TestDisk utility should find the still healthy NTFS and hopefully recovery the partition table so it will be visible again. I've resized well over a hundred NTFS partitions in the last three years and never lost any data.
