When you ran CHKDSK from the Windows XP Recovery Console did you use
CHKDSK /R
If not then reinstall the drive into the computer and try it now.
If CHKDSK /R does not (or did not) resolve the problem then go to the
hard drive manufacturer's website and download their free diagnostic
software. Boot the computer with the diskette (or CD) that this
creates and run the diagnostic.
If the drive passes the hard drive diagnostic and CHKDSK /R failed to
repair the problems then your next option is to try a Repair Install
of your Windows XP as per the instructions at
