How to fix NTFS table?

[drc]

This will wipe only the MBR, which is what Windows is freaking out about.

This will work by preventing Windows from trying to mount the drive, but does not fix the problem (which is in the filesystem)

On my drive that had the same behaviour, using XP SP3 disk I can access recovery console. Don't know what's in THAT drive.

well maybe we're talking about different problems. it seems to me that using ntfs4dos is a lot more efficient than using r-studio etc since you get the partition completely recovered in minutes (having made a backup first of course). none of the defective partitions i had were win bootable in any way (even caused stop 24 on usb plugin immediately). never found the actual fault but i didnt invest mucht time in it, chkdsk run from ntfs4dos found only standard errors you encounter every day (unused space in mft...).

Yes, may perfectly be.
