I've been trying to troubleshoot my computer's problem for a week now. After a fresh install of windows, usually after I install drivers for my Radeon8500, CHKDSK finds errors on my NTFS partition. Here is my current CHKDSK readout:
C:\DOCUME~1\BRIAN>chkdsk
The type of the file system is NTFS.
WARNING! F parameter not specified.

Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode.
In the past week, I've tried 2 motherboards (ECS K7S5A and MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU), 2 different Seagate Barracuda IV 80GB drives, and 2 different RAM configurations (512MB Mushkin PC2100 and 64MB of old SDRAM that I had around), and now today I exchanged my Radeon8500 for a new one.
The only constant in my setup has been the powersupply (Antec PP412X-400w) and the WindowsXP Pro CD. I've never had a problem with either, through lots of reinstalls and reformats.
My harddrive is currently partitioned with the WinXP Pro cd as a ~25GB primary and ~55GB secondary NTFS partition.
The problem is driving me crazy, and since I've switched just about every suspect component I'm starting to think there's a problem with my WinXP cd or the way I'm installing. Any help is supremely appreciated.
