Hello Admin

There is a Microsoft Knowledge Base article about it here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306081
which tells you how to troubleshoot it.

Google also found some posts from people saying they cured the problem
after running chkdsk with the repair option (chkdsk /r).

Good luck! Let us know how you get on

Thank you very much.
the dskchk -r works for this case.
I have another question. I would like to reinstall or upgrade my Windows XP
will programs still work or lost after I reinstall or upgrade?
Thanks
