Warm boot should have done as it did (Ctl-Alt-Del)! Its the close-down
method you must be careful of.

HPFS has a 'clean' marker - HPFS starts 'clean', and is then 'dirty' until
closed down with the system shutdown command - so Ctl-Alt-Del leaves
it dirty as does hitting the big red switch.

On restarting a 'dirty' HPFS you can run chkdsk against it, which will then
set the clean bit, and the HPFS will be readable again.
