My result is similar to the description of KB 831374 at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831374/en-us.



There is a hotfix available on the KB page but it is only for Windows
Server 2003. My installation of Windows XP is fully updated with SP3 and
all the subsequent updates through Microsoft Update, and yet this is the
result of chkdsk. Looks like chkdsk messed up some of the ACLs on the
file system although I have not experienced any adverse effects so far
(I do regular back-ups nightly for important data).



My system is a Dell Latitude E6500 with 4 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD running
Windows XP SP3 fully updated. Any thoughts or suggestions?
