That could be a known problem that Microsoft is currently working on
but does not presently have a fix for:
"Cannot Open Volume for Direct Access" Error Message When Chkdsk Runs
at Startup
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 823439
http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=823439
A couple of other things to try.
1. Open a DOS Command Prompt window (Start - All Programs -
Accessories - Command Prompt) and enter the following command:
CHKDSK /F /X
That may just work. But also may not.
2. If you have a Windows XP installation CD (not a "System Recovery"
disk that came with a new computer) then you can boot the computer
with the CD and choose the Repair (Recovery Console) option from the
first menu.
When it completes loading and stops at the command prompt enter the
following command:
CHKDSK /R
That should fix it.

You will probably have to end up uninstalling your Symantec
product(s), then running a special utility from Symantec to uninstall
all of the additional crud and corruption that Symanetec products
deliberately leave behind when they "uninstall", and then finally
reinstall them all and redo all of the updates.
Good luck
