Try booting your computer with the "Operating System CD for XP Home"
SP 1" and see what options it gives you. If the opening menu includes
the option for "Repair (Recovery Console)" then choose that option and
when it finishes booting enter the command:

CHKDSK /R

If booting from the CD does not give you the option for Recovery
Console then you need to go to
http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=310994 and download the appropriate
set of 6 diskette images for your version of XP (=Home Service Pack 1)
and use those to boot your problem computer. When it has finished
booting you can run the command

CHKDSK /R

If your problem computer does not have a 3.5 inch diskette drive and
if you have access to a CD Burner on another computer then you can
download Bart's PE Builder from http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ and
create a bootable CD. Boot the problem computer with that CD, open a
command prompt Window, and run

CHKDSK /R

Good luck
