I'm posting this for a friend who kicked his power strip
on several occasions and interrupted the power to his box.
Now his 2.6 GHz P-4 machine with 256MB RAM, running Windows
XP Home edition, always starts up by running CHKDSK.

CHKDSK can't handle all the errors it finds (gobs of 'em
-- file segment unreadable, file segment index damaged,
re-indexing index $I03 in file segment xxxxxx) and aborts
during step 2 of 3. Then XP starts up, but it runs REALLY
SLOW...

What can be done to correct this problem? Please advise.

Thanks,

Dennis
