THIS had NOTHING to do with power loss... I think you missed
the point... NT crashed and failed to reboot successfully at ALL.
No startup screen, no nothing.... was not due to a power loss,
happened after getting a BSOD.

As I mentioned, both filesystems will exhibit abnormal behavior
in certain circumstances on power hits.  ext2 could be more
susceptible strictly because of how it buffers things... where
NT has an all-or-nothing style (heavy cache, heavy write).
