   Just for the record, the NTFS "standard" isn't much of a standard.   
   The further the CHKDSK version is, from the version that created   
   the file system, the more damage the CHKDSK can do.   
      
   If I use the windows 7 CHKDSK on a Windows 10 C: drive, it removes   
   the Extended Attributes. This does no permanent damage, but it   
   also makes a permanent change to the file system in a sense.   
   On the other hand, the Windows 7 CHKDSK repairs $BITMAP, and   
   sometimes it is worth it for that function, so the Extended   
   Attribute damage is a tradeoff worth making.   
      
   The problem with Windows XP, is the treatment of System Volume Information   
   and "Restore Points" if present. It can remove them. The Windows XP   
   Restore Point logic is not compatible with later versions of such.   
      
   For a "Data Drive", there is no problem with any of this really.   
   It's the C: drives that suffer a bit, depending on which CHKDSK   
   you select. A "Data Drive" uses hardly any optional features   
   of NTFS 3.1 .
