File or Directory C:\$MFT is corrupt or unreadable. Run CHKDSK /f.

Got this message on a WinXP Home SP2 box. I can't run chkdsk /f
because I'm using the disk (obviously) When I reboot however,
the system does it's own chkdsk but doesn't find any errors.
The message keeps coming back. I don't get any hits when I
search the KB. Any help would be most appreciated...

Boot to the XP setup CD, and press 'r' for recovery console, run the command : CHKDSK /R
