running backup from cd; back up fine; chkdsk error on volume

Thread needs solution

i have been using acronis for years.
but just discovered this anomaly:
back up successful via cd.
have been able to restore from image(s).

but when the volume where the image resides is chkdsked i get an error (see below):

probably because the linux operating system of the boot disk does something that ntfs doesn't understand.

any thoughts?

system: i7 950; 6 gb ram; asus mb; western digital drives.

Hello Richard Boris!

Welcome to our Forum, we're glad to greet you here! I understand your concern, and will be glad to help you!

According to the information provided, you have errors on the drive, and chkdsk, started without fixing parameter, fails to proceed further in read-mode. In order to solve the issue please

  1. Go to: 
    Start -> Run -> cmd
  2. Issue there the following command:
    chkdsk /f /r
  3. Reboot the machine

This should fix the issues in the drive and resolve the problem.

Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!

Thank you!

Of course. I understand the chkdsk "switches"
The question is why the error occurs.
is it because the linux system writes to the volume differently from the way it is written to under windows 7?
thanks.
