From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It is NTFS after all, support has been flaky over the years. Are you running modern Linux NTFS drivers? If there's no other messages and chkdsk repair (on Windows) doesn't fix it I would assume the filesystem is alright and look at trying different NTFS drivers versions on Linux.
Have you verified that Windows can actually read all of the files? It may show them and not be able to read some of the files if the filesystem is corrupted.
