It's not ntfs that's the problem. It's windoze. When I boot, the thing inconsistently loads, or chooses not to, my pointer and keyboard drivers. The only option is to power the thing off and try again. It frequently takes me 3 or 4 attempts at rebooting (20-30 minutes) to get the dumb thing to work right, and in windoze, "working right" has a special definition. This was going on long before I installed Kubuntu. The file system gets corrupt because I am powering off the machine without allowing windoze to shut down normally and clean up the mess it normally makes on th HDD. With the keyboard and pointer not working there isn't much choice. I have no problems with Kubuntu at all, so it isn't my hardware. Maybe some problem with antispyware/antivirus software somehow wrecking the drivers. I keep windoze on the machine because my school requires certain software that won't run under wine in linux, otherwise I dump M$ like the trash it is.
