Hi bsfmig and billbear, 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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/730225 Title: grub-install trashes ntfs partition when sector 32 of the hard disk is occupied by Adobe FlexNet -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
