Sharing NTFS partition in multi-boot system

I have a laptop which multi-boots between Windows7 and Windows8. I share an NTFS partition between the two OSs. If I boot into Windows8 and make changes with files in the shared NTFS partition, everything works fine and I can reboot into Windows8 with no problems. If, however, I subsequently boot into Windows7, I will receive messages that Windows7 needs to check the shared NTFS partition for errors even before I get to the Windows7 login screen. After the check is run "errors" are "found" and "corrected" which subsequently foul up the NTFS partition for Windows8 use.

It seems that something needs to be done to the NTFS partition so that I can use it flawlessly between Windows7 and Windows8 without this problem showing up. Maybe it is something to do with hidden files or access control lists on the shared NTFS partition. Maybe an NTFS partition for Windows7 is somehow different in some way than an NTFS partition in Windows8. if anybody has any idea what is causing Windows7 viewing the NTFS partition as invalid after using it without problems in Windows8 I would appreciate hearing about it.
