Result: all the files added in Linux are removed.Ĭhkdsk was able to recover most of the files. The drives are compared to their saved state, and the differences are "repaired" back to how Windows remembers the drive being. After rebooting into Linux, I alter some files, and create others. Fast Startup saves the state of all mounted drives on shutdown, including which files are present. It merges power off with hibernate, to reduce cold boot times, and is enabled by default. Windows 8 has a new feature called Fast Startup. The little missing files suddenly fell into a pattern of my Windows activity.Įventually, I was able to track down the problem. I finally spotted the correlation between OS and missing files after the virtual hard drive for a VM I had set up vanished - directly following a reboot into Windows. My files are on NTFS formatted disks, separate to the OS partitions. Windows gets used infrequently for gaming, day to day use is in Ubuntu. 3 physical disks were affected by this, so it was not likely to be a hardware fault. Initially I suspected the hard drive, there were some bad sectors reported on the disk with the problems. Then the little problems became a big problem when a collection of work files disappeared. Little problems that could have been my memory playing tricks on me. A few files would not be where I remembered them, or they would be missing entirely. I've been having problems with my computer recently.
