boot up with the xp disc in the cd drive, say yes to boot from cd when asked
and then follow the instructions for repair not install and when you come to
the prompts type in
Chkdsk /r
note space between k and /
I've got to go or I'd look it up in M/S site for you to get exact
instructions, as it's been ages since I last did it and can't remember the
whole of it
If you want to try out some other apps, there are some free trial downloads
available, see here for links

Don't install more than one at a time as they can interfere with each other.

Windows repair? No, how did I do that? I really don't think I should
Reinstall XP yet! Too much work! I'd rather go out and buy me a third party
software that will do the same thing if I can't get this thing to work.
