So my conclusion --- NTFS is not so easy to damage, but if you manage
it, you're toast :-/
I'm not sure that your experience with NTFS _is_ more balanced - I've
seen a number of PCs this year which fail booting into Windows
(displaying the XP splashscreen before rebooting again in an unending
cycle) which have been repaired using only chkdsk.
Because the user liked to power his PC down at the wall - for energy-
saving reasons or peace-of-mind over house-fires, I'm knackered if I
know - and because "it was taking too long to shutdown" when he wanted
to go to bed - I know one of these was unplugged whilst still shutting
down, but surely not all of them were.
