You were right. I did this. I ended up having to use fsutil to force the partition to be dirty to get windoze to check it. It did. There were no errors. However, when I rebooted to Linux I still have the same problem. I can mount the partition, but I can only cd to it as root. I tried googling the error msg above but not much. Maybe I need to contact the developers who have written this ntfs support for linux. How would I go about finding them?
