chkdsk /f does not seem to fix the problem. Have tried dozens of times. Even booted off bootable CD and ran chkdsk /f from there .. several times. chkdsk /v does NOT show any errors off of CD.

XP HOME SP3, NTFS. thanks in advance.

Willing to try just about anything. My recollection of Seatools was it checks certain drive integrity but doesn't fix file systems ... but I will give it a shot. This is a Toshiba MK6037GSX ATA7 60GB drive (original drive for this Dell laptop).
