Well, I had the similar problems in so many different situations. Sometimes windows could and linux could not; linux could and not windows; both could ... etc etc etc. In linux I was always able to resolve it but not in windows (Excpet for reinstall reinstall reinstall.....) It can be so many things but here are somethings that you can try:
a) Network mounts that are busy or not unmounting correctly. b) trouble mounts in general. C) heck ,for that matter some automounts can cause problems but I have not seen this lately. d)Certain hung processes. this one is hard to solve sometimes. c) USB devides acting up. I have had 2 different webcams acting up (either itself or the driver not handeling it correctly).
