[Bug 44593] mounting ntfs partition corrupts it

Binary package hint: samba

after installing Dapper build 7 as a dual-boot with XPPro, I mounted my
ntfs partition (same hd, ntfs on sda2).  Without rebooting, I checked
the mount point to see if it was there.  It was, and I browsed to my
music folder.  Unfortunately, totem gave the message "does not contain a
valid music data stream" or some such.  So, I unmounted the partition
and tried to remount it.  When I browsed again, no files or file folders
existed at the mount point.  I later rebooted, tried again, but no files
appeared.  I then tried to boot to windows, but it gave me the message
"cannot find hal.dll on C:/windows/system32"  use of chkdsk from the XP
cd recovery console told me my ntfs had at least one irrecoverable
error.  If you can't tell, I'm a bit of a noob, so if there are any log
files I should include, please tell me.

any information on ways to recover my ntfs partitition would also be
welcome.
