Randy is correct. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=109524
Even though it doesn't say so it also applies to XP.
Also if any program writes to the drive while Chkdsk is running, chkdsk mayl report
more severe errors as it will think the index has become corrupted.
There was an old MSKB article about this, but its been removed:
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 246882 - If you run the Chkdsk.exe tool with no
command-line switches against a Windows NT file system (NTFS) volume, Chkdsk.exe
may report that problems were found, and suggest that you run the Chkdsk command
with the /f switch to fix the volume.
This is why you can run chkdsk multiple times and sometimes it will report errors
and sometimes it will not.
If you run chkdsk /v /f and it comes back with no errors than your disk
is fine.
You can also run chkntfs to see if Windows believes there is a problem with
the drive.
