All this is simple misreporting and nothing else. Windows XP built-in CHKDSK command 
is there to work with both NTFS as well as FATxx file system. Apparently it doesn't 
give best possible results with NTFS as we all can see...

I am assuring you that all those errors you get while checking from within Windows 
using built-in CHKDSK command, are not errors at all. This is just a misreport, nothing 
else. I get exactly the same problems even though I am 100% sure nothing is wrong 
with my HDs (which are both BTW, brand new... Maxtor 160Gb and Seagate 80Gb). Besides, 
not a single thing works bad in my Windows. This is what I get when checking with 
built-in CHKDSK:

And this is what I get when checking directly from DOS. I used NTFS 4 DOS in this 
case... I trust it much more than checking the disk from within Windows. Just use 
NTFS 4 DOS, type CHKDSK and you all will get the same results... no errors at all... 
of course, assuming your HDs are in good condition and there is really no errors 
on them...
