hit start, then run. type:

chkdsk /f

It will ask to schedule a scan, say yes and reboot.

This will check and repair any filesystem errors, normal chkdsk only scans in read only mode. Sometimes the boot sector (I think it's the MBR or MFT in XP, someone confirm for me?) gets corrupt from incorrect shutdowns and such, and while it isn't life threatening, one of the traits of this is incorrect free space
