I've run the error checking you described for that
partition in the past, it found no problems, but still
required chkdsk on that partition on each reboot.
I ran the 'Enable Check Disk Upon Boot' to re-enable auto
checking, then selected to check the partition in
question on reboot, chkdsk went through 5 phases finding
nothing, but when windows started a 'Windows File
Protection' box poped up stating it must check that all
protected windows files are intact and in their original
versions, it then asked for the XP Pro Service Pack 2 CD,
I inserted the XP Pro cd (obviously not SP2), it copied
files, and the Windows File Protection box disappeared.
On each reboot, there is no chkdsk required any more, but
the Windows File Protection box comes up each time,
copies files from the CD, and goes away???
