Binary package hint: samba
after installing Dapper build 7 as a dual-boot with XPPro, I mounted my ntfs partition (same hd, ntfs on sda2). Without rebooting, I checked the mount point to see if it was there. It was, and I browsed to my music folder. Unfortunately, totem gave the message "does not contain a valid music data stream" or some such. So, I unmounted the partition and tried to remount it. When I browsed again, no files or file folders existed at the mount point. I later rebooted, tried again, but no files appeared. I then tried to boot to windows, but it gave me the message "cannot find hal.dll on C:/windows/system32" use of chkdsk from the XP cd recovery console told me my ntfs had at least one irrecoverable error. If you can't tell, I'm a bit of a noob, so if there are any log files I should include, please tell me.
any information on ways to recover my ntfs partitition would also be welcome.

Strange enough, after working with smbfs more than 2 months without any problems, I got the same situation (HAL initialize errors) starting on the date I added an ntfs partition to my fstab as well.
Which logfiles should I look at ?
