I trust that you by now have discovered that your trust was never breached by Microsoft (for once). Microsoft firmly believes that Windows is the only OS that should reside on a PC's disk. Therefore running chkdsk with force was only an invitation to Microsoft to run amok. BTW, the reason I replied to this message was not to provide you with a solution but with a trivial yet good bit of precaution I use on my own dual-boot PC, wherein ad4s1 is NTFS/Windows and ad4s2 is my FreeBSD slice. Right after installation of FreeBSD, I ran : dd if=/dev/ad4 of=ad4.512 bs=512 count=1 dd if=/dev/ad4s2 of=ad4s2.512 bs=512 count=1 dd if=/dev/ad4s2a of=ad4s2a.512 bs=512 count=1 No matter how Windows screws up the MBR or FreeBSD's slice, recovering from the situation is simple enough.
