I have linux (ubuntu) on a usb flash drive ,( that means that it's read only)... I boot from the usb drive, I open some files from the hard disk that contains Windows ( this hard disk is the master disk when I boot from windows) I do some work ,and then I shut linux down...the point is that it cannot shut down properly because linux is not installed, and thus no changes can be saved, so sometimes the files I open from my Windows drive don't close...anyway, when I boot from Windows after booting from ubuntu, CHKDSK runs, finds some damaged or corrupted indexes and then fixes the problem... but last time the CHKDSK couldn't open , because I got a 'disk read error' on boot time, and it's a pain in the @$$ to fix the problem (I must disconnect the drive, connect it to another system as slave etc...)
how can I be sure that all files in my original master disk are properly closed, and that my master drive is intact ??
Thanks in advance !!
(sorry for writing all this text for a single question but I'm afraid I couldn't explain it in any other way !! )
