True.

It is not unusual that different OSes drive certain parts of a computer in 
different ways, and thus from one OSs perspective something might break while 
the other sees no difference (yet?). I had that happen to me with a flaky RAM 
chip for instance. Linux would choke on it, while Windows appeared quite 
happy (or it hid the errors). And there have been other instances in my 
personal experience too, although I can't be bothered to recall them now.
Anyway, this behavior is not as odd as it may seem.

Have fun,
