An update on my situation: A few days ago, I downloaded some Microsoft patches for XP while I was at work with a high-speed connection (2 T1 lines). I then brought home the patches and installed them. Something did not work properly because on rebooting, I got an error message saying that my XP registration could not be verified and I could not log in. (A new Microsoft annoyance) Microsoft's knowledge base says that this usually requires a re-install of XP - do so as an upgrade to preserve all my settings. After trying other means of getting around this, I finally did a re-install of the OS. While most of my settings remained ok, the HAL got replaced with an APCI compliant version. This means that the computer turns power off on shutdown. The amazing thing is that this time I did not get the disk corruption that I had previously experienced. Doing a CHKDSK showed only minor errors, and not always. No more index corruption showed up so far after at least 10 reboots! Unfortunately, I don't know which patch is responsible for this "fix", but it is a welcome result. Being somewhat skeptical, I still run CHKDSK after every other shutdown, but my confidence is starting to build up.
