If that is the only error message from CHKDSK then the boot sector has
some incorrect information in it.  I have a machine that did that for
a year.  I finally took the time to do two full backups and did a low
level format to clear up the error.  Just repartitioning the drive
should fix it, but I wanted an intensive test done since I had to
reload the disk anyway.
