How did you install Ubuntu?
Do you dual boot the system?

Thanks

It is dual boot with Windows XP sp3
I used the ubuntu windows installer

I suggest you chkdsk your NTFS partition. A defrag may help too

I ran chkdsk also with a restart an a complete defrag (this took some time) still the same message

Can you help with this problem?
