Each time, when I reboot, ChkDsk runs before XP's window comes up. It seems to end normally, but the summary screen flashes by so fast I can't read the details. Last time around, I made a movie of the screen. On that iteration, at least, ChkDsk reported no errors at all. But ChkDsk run immediately after that reboot reported errors different from the screeen paste above - but seemingly the same as a number or prior runs: ------------------------------------------------------- C:\>chkdsk C: The type of the file system is NTFS.

I've run a utility called HD Tune that purports to do a detailed scan for errors on the drive; but it does not find any. Is there a way out of this situation without rebuilding the system? [/QUOTE]
