Need help w/ winXP NTFS main partition drive and chkdsk (scandisk) errors.

? (=Þ)

Golden Member
Ahh.. i dont know whats wrong. I run chkdsk in the command prompt in WinXP on my main drive/partition, the one w/ winXP installed on it, and i get various errors. I run "chkdsk /f" to fix them on the next bootup, which it runs but it doesnt mention any errors/corrections when I watch it scan before windows starts up, it checks clear. Then when i bootup and run chkdsk in a command prompt window in windows again, i get the same errors again.

Any help?

WinXP Pro, 80gig Maxtor D740X HD, single NTFS primary partition w/ 64kb clusters.

Any services/settings I should check?
