First, what is the model of your hard disk ? The backup boot sector is located at a place unusual for a 512-sector disk.
Then, you have built the image after having started chkdsk twice, nevertheless when I start chkdsk on the image, it still finds an error. The error is about directory Django/GSWD/projects/old_microblog which is just named microblog in the parent directory. This appears to be a directory created on Windows as microblog, which you renamed as old_microblog on Linux. I am surprised this was not fixed by chkdsk on your computer. The missing clusters found by chkdsk on your computer are related to some earlier fixing of files created on Ubuntu. The first one is about found.001/dir_00000000.chk which was obviously created by Windows. The last three ones are related to git files such as found.001/dir_00000000.chk/.git/objects/f9/cf35626bdb4bcbbb5.... but other files apparently created by the same process were not flagged (such as found.001/dir_00000000.chk/microblog/settings.pyc) It looks like Windows and Ubuntu do not read the same data. Can you create on Windows a file a bit over 4096 bytes (for example 5000 bytes), then switch to Ubuntu and *append* a few bytes (for example "echo more data >> testfile"). Do not use a text editor which would relocate the file after updating. Check the time stamp of the file while on Ubuntu. Then switch back to Windows. Is the file visible ? Has it been moved to a quarantine directory (found.001) ? What is its time stamp, what contents ? (better use a partition different from the one for which you sent the metadata, so that it remains meaningful). > The notebook specs says that, and Gparted listing two disks > of these sizes confirms that. Can these specs be accessed on-line ? I assume Gparted does not mention the SSD is used as a cache. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280574 Title: Files modified on NTFS partition are seen as corrupted files in Windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g/+bug/1280574/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
