      You can reset the unclean flag from within Linux... Sadly, I can't remember what the command is, but I've used it a few times.

      Google says "ntfsfix", but I'm not sure that's it.

        I'm not saying you can't use the tools, only that they advise against it while the drive is in an unclean state.

        Don't read in more than I type. 🙂

          The one I'm thinking of actually works and fixes the problem and doesn't corrupt data... hopefully.

            Right, yours just changes a flag maybe just a single bit on the drive

            Spinrite for example will complain when you try to have it scan an unclean drive.

              If nothing else, just boot the install CD from another computer and chkdsk from the command prompt. 😄

                  I won't know until tomorrow how fairs my data,.. however in the mean time, I guess I"m in the market for a new laptop. This one didn't make two years,.. and it's hardly traveled... so no harsh bumping.

                  So I will start looking..

                  Lenovo?

                  Surface?

                        Yea,.. I do jest. the Surface seems like a 'good idea' but done badly. Not going there. Unless someone wants to just outright give me one.

                        This was an ACER the 2 n 1 which lasted 23 months. (Warranty expired Feb 2016).

                        I would go either ACER, ASUS or Dell...

                          I know a company that should probably get rid of their surfaces...

                            Acer isn't bad. I've had a few and they have help up okay. Don't think about them too much anymore. Like Toshiba they seem to have faded from popularity.

                              Not for this guy. My laptop is coming up on 2 years old, and still runs like a champ... I just hope it stays that way, lol.

                                I have a Dell that is I don't know how many years old... running fine.

                                And a EEE-PC that is still running as well. I'm considering dropping a 120SSD in it to move to linux as it was / is WinXP.
