I came upon your forum while looking for help with a new chkdsk error situation.
I run XP pro with a 200 Gigs SATA Seagate drive in two partitions of 80 Gigs & 120 
Gigs.
All was well until the last week in February.  At that point, I removed the Microsoft 
LiveOneCare   and installed BitDefender IS-V10.  A week later I left for a 3 weeks 
trip so the computer was switched off and unused. 

When I returned, I was unable to complete the Windows booting up process.  A few 
seconds into the process a blue screen with checkdisk appeared stating that my C 
dive was unstable and I should let CHKDSK do a consistency check.  It completed stage 
1 (files verification) but immediately upon starting stage 2, it announced 0% completion 
and there it stuck.
I tried resetting the process 4 times with the same constant failure to proceed beyond 
stage 1.
I then canceled CHKDSK and forced Windows to complete its booting up.  The computer 
seemed to perform OK save for OE which was very sluggish opening all 3 identities. 
That was yesterday.  This morning, after canceling CHKDSK yet again, OE just could 
not get to the server at all.  “Working online” was indicated at the bottom of the 
frame but so was “program not responding” in the header line. 

I downloaded SeaTools and used DOS boot-up disk to locate the problems.  5 bad errors 
were located and repaired successfully but when I rebooted, here was the CHKDSK blue 
screen again with the same attitude: Check stage 1 and no further.

If I cancel that hurdle, Windows will boot up to completion and the systems appears 
to work fine, including OE email retrieval, so why is Windows inserting this CHKDSK 
with its refusal to perform stage 2 - the indexes verification? According to SeaTools 
all is well with the C drive now so what other problem could there be?

Any feedback/suggestion welcome please.
Thank you.
