Re: W8 Corruption.
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2012 2:24 am
I no longer have win8 installed but can confirm that there is disk
corruption with Windows8, even of partitions that are hidden from the Win8
operating system. My system had to be restored from previously made IFW's
images and I had to completely delete the Win8 partition before I could
again access the BootitNG screen. I'm not sure I want to test again to see
if disabling hybrid-boot would cure the problem. I'm so happy I had IFW
backups.

Based on a number of reports and a quick search of the Microsoft forums,
it's clear Win8 is causing disk corruption on other partitions. I suspect
it may have something to do with the new hybrid-boot gimmick which is
enabled (instead of disabled as it should be) by default. You can disable
hybrid-boot to see if all your chkdsk/corruption problems go away by doing
this:
1) Open Control Panel.
2) Choose Hardware and Sound -> Power Options
3) Click on "Choose what the power button does" on left.
4) Click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable".
5) Remove the check mark from the "Enable Hybrid Boot" or "Turn on fast
startup (recommended)" under Shutdown settings.
In the mean time, ensure you have a good current image of all your
partitions before installing W8 at this time.
