Question #77254 on Ubuntu changed:

Tom proposed the following answer:
Hi again

I was wondering if there's really any urgent need to fix the Vista side
of this because Ubuntu should be able to access all the data and can
happily read/write almost any documents or things that are on the Vista
side of things - just hunt around in the "Places" menu.

There are some specialist distros to help repair Windows but my favourite is Trinity Rescue Kit which runs from a command-line rather than from a nice gui desktop
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=trinity
i guess the appropriate tools could be installed and used in ubuntu rather than making trk into a bootable disk you could use as a LiveCd but i would really be using trk because of it's excellent forum support for helping with all this type of thing.  

Really in Ubuntu we tend to steer clear of Windows as much as possible
but some specialist distros are made for exactly that.  If you navigate
to the home page at DistroWatch you might find search tools to help find
these other ones too.

If i had to deal with this i would set it aside as something to do
later, at my leisure, but would just keep using all the stuff that's
over on the Vista side in the meantime.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
