File XFR Between DualBooting Causing CHKDSK
I Dual boot with a WD640GB (Black) RAID1 Array in Vista x64 and Windows 7 Pro on a WD1TB (Black) stand alone disk.
All is well until I move files between the two Hard Drive sets.
Example: In Vista, I open a MS Office 07 excel document and make my changes and save. I then click "Save As" and shoot it to the HDD Win 7 is on in the User\Me\My Documents folder.
This is so when I need to work with it and I'm in the other OS I'm good.
I have also opend a office document from one OS that was in another and saved it in place.
Then I get the CHKDSK in restarts. It is always when booting into Vista. I blame it on the file transfers or cross OS saves because I see the files in question listed durring the CHKDSK process.
When I finally get to the Vista desktop Intel Matrix Storage Manager (IMSM) rebuilds or repairs my RAID set.
It does not happen again until I work as stated above.
Well today after such a session it would not boot back into Vista. No CHKDSK, just a tiny flicker of a BSCOD and a loop.
So at the OS option I chose Win7 and installed Intel Matrix Storage Manager there and let it repair the RAID set from there.
I rebooted and Vista came up and again with (IMSM).
Well I will learn and not do the document thing again and am about to ditch the Vista all together but wanted to put it out here incase I can get some do's and dont's input from you guys.
Can I expect this when doing other mass file transfers that are not the result of a save as?
