Hi billbear,

I don't know how I got "infected" with FlexNet. All the while, grub hadn't be causing any problems and nothing on my Windows system had changed, with the exception of a few updates.

You do think that changes in grub2 caused this, don't you? Well, I think so too.

Yes, I did try chkdsk. I booted into the recovery console using the Windows setup disk. The partition was corrupted.

At this moment, I do not have access to that dual boot machine, but I'll let you know once I've tried your suggestion. Thanks.
