    XP Dual boot: chkdsk security errors

    The situation is the following:

    I have dual boot configuration with 3 partitions, all NTFS;
    p1: XP Pro (boot, 10Gb, c
    p2: XP MCE (boot, 10Gb, c
    p3: extended partition with data (60Gb, d

    This third (data) partition is therefore available to both Os-es for common
    data etc.
    On this partition no programs are installed. Purely for data purpose.

    If I choose now p1 or p2 to boot, each time CHKDSK starts and comes with an enormous list with errors, this error fixing/procedure van not be
    interrupted. I tried it for more then 1/2 hour and then I turned the PC off.
    When rebooting and skipping chkdsk, both OS-es just boot normal and i can work in both also with files etc. from p3-D:

    The error is: "Replacing invalid security id with default security id for
    file xxxxx
    ."

    If I start up the PC again (and/or skip CHDSK) it all goes ok and there
    seems to be no problems, I can use the whole partition and files in/with
    both OS-es.

    I know that security problems can occur through the use of these ' shared '
    partition through 2 Os-en.

    One solution could be converting the partition into FAT32, but I don't want
    that (large files etc.)

    Also the fsutil gives errors; saying that d: is dirty.....

    I tried HD utilities; physically there are no problems with the disk.
    Chkntfs d: also indicates that ' errors ' have been found.....
    Tried chkdsk /f d: , same story (that is waht actually happens automatically offcourse)


    Can I overcome/solve this problem?
    In a way i would think that i should tell both OS-es not to make any use of any security settings on partition 3 (D.....or something....

    thx

    Yes that is what i said/mean/wrote/have
    And off course not both OS-es (C: drives) are available at the same time. When i boot p1: XP Pro only 2 partition are visible/usable: the OS partition which is then drive c : and the data partition d :

    When i boot p2: XP MCE only 2 partition are visible/usable: the OS partition which is then drive c : also and again the data partition d :
