When the "fast restarting" of Windows 8 is enabled, the ntfs partitions
of internal disk (this means including non-Windows system partition) may
be left in an inconsistent state, and Windows 8 restarts using a saved
copy of the metadata (instead of what is actually on disk), leading to
potential data loss. The checks based on the hiberfil.sys cannot be
relied on, as this file only exists in the Windows system partition.
Also note that the "Shut down" button of Windows 8 does not show the
kind of restarting (fast or standard) which is triggered.

The only known way to avoid inconsistencies and data losses is to disable the 
fast restart and hibernation. See :
