What program are you using to do a checkdisk with?
Sounds to me like your problem lies in the bad sectors sitting on your harddrive...
There are a couple of utilities I would suggest using, but you may need to toss your harddrive and purchase a new one...

VoptXP 7.22
Incredible Disk Defrag includes disk clean-up and error checking/repair

If this util won't fix your bad sectors let me know and we could try a few other utilities... If worst comes to worst, right now all CompUSA stores are selling 160GB harddrives for $80, no rebates needed... Link Here... Also it says the drive is a Generic, but it is really a Maxtor HDD, so it should be pretty good quality... :)  Let me know if VoptXP doesn't help you out at all though...

    warning:c parameter specified
your drive may still be corrupt even after running chkdsk  ,,,, before i run this i checked where it says fix , but not sure wether it has done so or not , anyone any ideas ,, thanx
