Hm.... That is different, head crash maybe?
I've known DOS fdisk to write incorrect partition info before, which
explains why cfdisk told you "partition ends after end-of-disk".
You should probably try:
fdisk -l /dev/hda
to get a list of the partitions on that disk, and then run badblocks on
the Windows partition, like:
badblocks /dev/hda5 6088635
Where hda5 is the device that holds the dos filesystem, and 6088635 is
the number of blocks that fdisk told you that partition has. Email me
back the output of both commands.
