WXP Pro CHKDSK problems after bad h/w install

[Guest]

Hello: I recently installed a new wireless adapter that caused my system to
be unstable (eg, it caused display problems, locked out the "Welcome Window"
mode for login and chkdsk was running on each boot reporting "disk is
dirty"). As Xp was becoming more unstable, I uninstalled the h/w and s/w,
but the CHKDSK problems remain, and now I get 2 additional errors: XP reports
that my Virtual page size has been set to zero or is too small, and on boot
and afterwards it continues to report: File C:\$MFT is unreadable, pls run
CHKDSK) CHKDSK runs on boot, reports no errors but these 2 error messages
persist. Any help, or do I need to re-install the OS?
Am running WinXP Pro SP2 on a Dell desktop.
Thanks.

Wrong News Group. Windows XP (aka; WinXP) problems should be posted in a WinXP News Group.
This is a Windows 2000 (aka; Win2K).
