    Windows 7 Catch 22: System Restore and CHKDSK

    Really fun things happen if your laptop falls off the bed while you're asleep. In Windows, I can no longer log off/reboot/shut down normally (Linux, however, is fine). Also, if I put my laptop to sleep in Windows, it will inexplicably refuse to wake up (again, Linux can wake up just fine...
