Chkdsk keeps running everytime I start up my computer but fails to finish
stating that the volume contains one or more unrecoverable items. I have
tried to reinstall XP but it will not allow me. Instead I get an error
message that drive C: is corrupt. Can anyone help me?
 
do a real chkdsk from the recovery console (boot off the xp cd). run chkdsk
/r and see if it fixes anything.
 
First: Backup all data that is of any importance to you, as the drive may be
failing.

Second: Go to the web site of the drive's manufacturer and run their hard
disk diagnostic software. If the diagnostic software indicates a physical
problem on the disk, replace the disk as soon as possible and perform
frequent backups until a new disk is in place.

If there is no physical problem on the disk, the diagnostic software can
help you in resolving the corruption, if possible.
