Check Disk for Errors Log - oddity?

[Guest]

THe Check Disk for Errors Utility (run from tools tab from disk properties), consistenly finds errors.
This is a recent situation (didn't do this before, can't say when though)
I have Win 2000 Pro, no special languages or anything

The disk check runs as a scheduled job next boot, probably a script of some sort?

Below, I paste a snip of the contents of the log file it leaves C:\bootex.log

The "inconsistencies" it finds (see below) are always "file 0x9" and always unused index entries.
Sometimes there are only 1 or 2, never more than 10

Q1: What is "file 0x9"? And the index "$SII" incidated below

Q2: notepad bootex.log, it looks a normal text file. Type it (command prompt) and it appears spaces in between every character. (a binary editor shows null 0x00 in beween each character). Is this some 16 bit character mix up

Gratze

Yes, my Chkdsk output looks just like that (in the link you gave, I'll paste it again

Surely this is fixed by now? The bulletin says it hasn't, and Microsoft is looking into it. There is a "hotfix"
Does anyone know, is their a better solution? I don't have 4M number of files though
Win 2000 (very latest SP's and updates I already have)
