Q: After system image restore, disk contents don't match up
I feel like every time I think I've got this darn computer fixed, another problem pops up...
Okay, so after much headache, I was able to restore Boot Camp from a VHD image... however... what OSX sees as the contents of the BOOTCAMP disk, and what BOOTCAMP sees of itself are completely different.
According to OSX, here's the contents:
Kenz$~: cd /Volumes/BOOTCAMP/
Kenz$~: ls
$Recycle.Bin/ Program Files/ Users/
BOOTSECT.BAK* Program Files (x86)/ Windows/
Boot/ ProgramData/ WindowsImageBackup/
DRIVERS/ RHDSetup.log* bootmgr*
Documents and Settings/ Recovery/ hiberfil.sys*
Intel/ Recovery.txt* pagefile.sys*
PerfLogs/ System Volume Information/
This is how the drive looked before System Restore, yet OSX still thinks this is what is on the disk...
Here's the contents as seen from Windows, for comparison:

10 Dir(s) 66,776,281,088 bytes free
I feel this is an OSX problem, like I need to reset its memory of the BOOTCAMP volume or something.
I have unmounted than re-mounted the disk, reset NVRAM/PRAM and disabled Tuxera NTFS... but it still shows this as the contents.
Any ideas on how to fix this? While I could leave it alone since both OSX and Windows function and boot properly, I would like to create a WinClone image of Boot Camp, and in this situation it would probably create an image of the wrong thing, so I'd like OSX to see the disk correctly. The driving factor here is I'd like to take advantage of the free Windows 10 upgrade, but I want to be able to roll back to where I was in the worst-case scenario.
