In my case, chkdsk didn't work as even Windows XP couldn't recognise my partition. For chkdsk to work, a partition must first be recognised as a Windows partiton, be it NTFS, FAT16 or FAT32. My corrupted partition was recognised as a raw filesystem.

Also, I do not have FlexNet installed.

In my case, the only utility that worked to repair the partition was TestDisk (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/TestDisk).

Using this utility, I recovered the MFT.

Perhaps this might offer a clue as to what is going on.
