Since you cant boot into same mode with command prompt and dont have a XP CD handy, on a working XP PC, download This zipped file (vlaurie.com) its a program for creating CD for a windows recovery console .

Download and unzip the contents to a folder, read the " Readme.html" it tells you how to make a bootable CD for the XP recovery Console. I did have a link to the finished product - but seem to have misplaced it :crying

Boot from it and agree to all the guff - select R to load, when you get to C:\windows type in chkdsk /p
