Click on 'Start' then click 'run' and type cmd (enter)
In the black screen command line type
CHKDSK C: /F /R
( I'm not remembering clearly if one leaves a space between two
parameters. I would try it the way I typed it above first, then if you don't
get satisfaction try it with no space between the /f and /r parameter.)
When windows starts the next time it will run chkdsk in repair mode to
delete the entries and repair bad sectors.
You can read about the different parameters below.

and this from Norton
http://service1.symantec.com/support...04066687571562
Don't be surprised that it takes longer to run it in the /f/r mode.
If you keep getting errors I would consider checking the integrity of the
hard disk with the manufacturer's diagnostic utility. Additionally, if that
comes up negative but you still are getting chkdsk runs on bootup I would
run memtest86 to check the RAM.
