There is nothing wrong with XP or NTFS. Unlike Fat 32 where if the computer did not
shut down properly, the system would automatically run a CHKDSK C: /F. With XP and
NTFS Windows is constantly doing this while the computer is running. Just give your
computer a few days and everything will be OK again. Sometimes a corruption will
prevent you from doing a proper defrag but after a few days this will fix itself
also. Nowhere in my search could I find why Windows XP with NTFS would not do a CHKDSK
after an improper shutdown. Interesting to note that I upgraded my daughters computer
from Me which had Fat 32. After the upgrade to XP Pro her computer ran great but
the file system was still Fat 32. I did an improper shutdown and sure enough it did
an automatic CHKDSK C: /F after booting up just like Win 98 and Me. Hope that helps.
I have run my computer flawlessly for two years with Win XP and NTFS.
