In the last 3 days or so, I've had all kindsa issues with XP not booting up properly. It freezes at different points during boot up, is sometimes blue screening, etc.

Since I need to hard boot when it freezes, I'm getting all kindsa chkdsk errors that scare the s out of me... ya know, that stuff about lost allocations and cross linked files, and stuff.

Now normally, I'd be very afraid after seeing that stuff. I'd be telling my friend that had this issue to reformat the drive as something is wrong with the file directory structure and it's not fixable.

Weirdly, my PC booted after the 20 something reboot and everything is running fine now, but I know the problem will re-occur.

Since it's MY Issue, I want to try to resolve it...

Is there any repair process anyone can recommend that can go through the directories and attempt to fix whatever is broken? Norton something??
