Windows 7 RTM contains a rather nasty chkdsk bug    Some are
calling the bug a "show stopper", whilst others (Randall
Kennedy) claim it could derail the Windows 7 launch. It's worth

used so rarely that Microsoft would mark this as minor in terms
of bugs. There are unconfirmed reports that Windows VP Steven
Sinofsky has claimed this is a controller issue and can be fixed
with updated drivers, something that Microsoft can push out with
Windows Update. In an unverified blog posting, Sinofsky states
"In this case, we haven't reproduced the crash and we're not
