Ok so I have a laptop that won't boot into Vista. I scanned the hard drive and no errors so I thought maybe it's a corrupt file system. I take out the hdd and connect it to my MBP via usb. It mounts, allows me to see all the files so I can back them up, etc. So then I unplug it and put it on my Win7 pc to pull off the Office 2003 product key. And guess what.. Windows says the file system is corrupt and needs to be formatted before I can use the hdd.

tl;dr
Windows Vista hdd is readable in OSX but not in Windows 7, why?
 
Windows 7 does a whole lot more checks with NTFS before it mounts it. I recommend that you do a full chkdsk scan with the laptop drive.
 
No, it checks for filesystem faults & disk platter surface issues.
