I searched the Symantec (Norton) site without much luck.
However, I did find SOME information, look here:

Try this:
If you have a bootable install cd for XP run chkdsk from
the recovery console:

Set your PC BIOS to boot from CDROM, Boot from the CD
Select the first option R Repair/Recovery Console
Select your Windows partition by number (usually 1)
Login to XP with administrator password {ENTER}
Run CHKDSK /P from the command line

Rinse and Repeat until no errors are shown, run CHKDSK /P
X: for each drive letter (X)
