I now have my system under control and can share some of what I learned with this forum. To prevent corruption on my system, I changed my computer type form ACPI to Standard PC. When I shut down, XP stops and tells me "It is safe ...". No more corruptions! Regarding CHKDSK - if CHKDSK is run agains the boot drive, it will report errors because some files are open. Need to run it with /f so it is done at startup. Also - very strange - certain $I30 errors are "normal" according to Microsoft and only indicate "housekeeping" tasks that CHKDSK does. Apparently there is no real corruption in the directory. The corruption I expereienced on shutdown, however, was not limited to these "expected" errors and actually damaged directory structure entries. Microsoft needs to add more delay before turning power off on ACPI systems - there was such a problem with Win98 I believe. On my own system, the RAID driver on the SATA drives does not allow me to turn off write cache, so that is not an option for me. I there a way to send such bug reports to Microsoft? There are a number of us that are seeing this problem, but I know of no way to report it to the big company.
