3b307654 - you may have to use the RC from the CD.
Try and use the chkdisk command from the Recovery console
Look at this section from the link:
Command Actions
The following list describes the available commands for
the Recovery Console:
CD (Chdir) operates only within the system directories of
the current Windows installation, removable media, the
root directory of any hard disk partition, or the local
installation sources.
Chkdsk The /p switch runs Chkdsk even if the drive is not
flagged as dirty. The /r switch locates bad sectors and
recovers readable information; this switch implies /p.
Chkdsk requires Autochk. Chkdsk automatically looks for
Autochk.exe in the startup (or boot) folder. If Chkdsk
cannot find the file in the startup folder, it looks for
the Windows 2000 Setup CD-ROM. If Chkdsk cannot find the
installation CD-ROM, it prompts the user for the location
of Autochk.exe.
