systems reboots when chkdsk finds unreadable segment

[Guest]

I have installed XP on C drive and chkdsk has found an unreadable file record
segment on the F drive (a Raid array). After chkdsk reports the error, the
system reboots. How do I fix this please? I have read that chkdsk /f can take
days to run on large disks (eg 70GB). My F drive is 240GB. I have the number
of the faulty record segment. TIA .... Greg

PS I originally posted this in the General newsgroup which I think was a
mistake. Sorry!

PS I tried running chkdsk /r and same thing happened, ie it found and
reported the error then system re-booted.

Run Disk CleanUp first as this can remove a problematic file.

What does Event Viewer report regarding the problem?

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427/en-us

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you
should double click for further information. You can copy using copy
and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is no further
information.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

Try this suggestion:
Start, Run, type "cmd" without quotes, type "F:" without quotes, type
chkdsk /f and hit Enter.
