Normally you wouldn't receive help for such problems here, because using proprietary software is your own problem, but since you are a newcomer and you are considering/decided to give up free software at all, the following might help. I've seen something similar last year as a part of educational project in a high school. GNU/Linux was installed side by side to some version of Windows, which wasn't able to boot. The problem was in the NTFS partition that Windows used. We were able fix it from GNU/Linux by running some NTFS-related utilities. I assume (I forgot) they were the ntfsfix and ntfsck programs coming from the ntfs-3g package. If that is the case, you probably can't mount the NTFS partition on GNU/Linux. Assuming the device is sda and the Windows partition is the first one: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 2048 409599 203776 86 NTFS volume set ... sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt _Some error_ or sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt _Some error_ If it mounts, unmount the partition with: sudo umount /mnt If there is no error you can still try to fix the partition with ntfsfix. Try the dry-run first. sudo ntfsfix -n /dev/sda1 If there is nothing scary looking, execute the command without the -n option. sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1 Try the ntfsck program as well sudo ntfsck /dev/sda1 Reboot. If you don't use any specialized software on Windows you should be able to live without it. It will be a little awkward at the beginning. That is all. Good luck.
