Sorry, don't have any tips. But the problem is simple - your NT file
system driver has a bug. If your UNIX is Linux and the filesystem is
ext2fs, then you can use a tool called dumpe2fs to dump the filesystem
and manually examine where the errors (most probably introduced by your
fs driver) are and try to debug your driver.

You can also try to port fsck to NT and see if it helps you detect the
problems.
