More chkdsk problems

After having chkdsk screw up several files by setting their size to 0, I tried running it under the windows xp command prompt and got the following:

CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)...
File verification completed.
CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2 of 3)...
Index verification completed.
CHKDSK is verifying security descriptors (stage 3 of 3)...
Security descriptor verification completed.
CHKDSK discovered free space marked as allocated in the volume bitmap.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.
Click to expand...

I reran chkdsk with /f and rebooted. While booting chkdsk reported no errors. However, after booting I get the same errors. How can I fix them? Is there another program that works any better? Norton used to have something but now it think it only runs chkdsk.

sorry, i was trying to ident by hitting enter, but didn't do what i wanted.

maybe the hard disk is bad
 
You will always get minor inconsistencies if you run chkdsk on a volume mounted read-write becaue the OS's filesystem cache might not be in sync with what's on disk.
 
Not as long as the OS is running, the only time it's 100% guaranteed to be in sync is when the volume isn't mounted read-write.
 
Why? Anything that runs has to run from inside the OS, and if you're checking the system drive the OS has to be running so you'll get the same results.
