Comment 2 for bug 847465

hi,

I can report the same behaviour with two ntfs partitions not being mounted due to serious errors. Ignoring the errors seems to give me two perfectly working partitions, though, and they still work in windows.

However, I made some differing observations:

- when checking partition A (data storage) with the windows built in disk checker gui, there were errors which were corrected; unfortunately I don't remember the error message anymore; a chkdsk /F didn't find anything afterwards

- when mounting partition B manually from the console I got an error message followed by a "fixing"; another mount succeeded without errors

- the fixes don't seem to have any effect on the reported behaviour; I still get the "serious errors"

- booting windows7 after the upgrade to oneiric takes me to a windows7 boot menu where I can choose between ubuntu and windows, which is new, but I'm not sure if its related

Has anybody tried installing oneiric from scratch (while keeping /home) and can report whether there are issues with ntfs partitions in that case?
