I know you said you mounted it with a 'hpfs' flag but there is a driver 
for using ntfs; I mount my ntfs partition thus:

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /Win7

I wonder if this wouldn't be safer.

used to use hpfs in my os/2 days. I believe it was IBM and then Microsoft 
worked on it and perhaps used it as a basis for ntfs (but my memory is 
not necessarily accurate).
