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?

Hi "Surya Halim",

No, your result does NOT indicate the problem described in KB831374, which
deals with a situation where the MFT (Master File Table) is larger than 4GB
or if there are more than 4,194,303 files on the volume. The example report
on that page had: 4,232,266 files, (which is greater than 4,194,303.)

Your report showed: 125,917 files

That article may apply to:
* Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise x64 Edition
* Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition (32-bit x86)
* Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition (32-bit x86)
* Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Web Edition
* Microsoft Windows XP Professional <===
* Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition <===

The fix for Windows XP is the latest service pack. SP3 is the latest.
You don't have that problem. Your Chkdsk reports indicates success.

If you think you are experiencing some sort of security related problem,
please include details of any observations or error codes. Otherwise...

(Triple-click here, to be of good cheer. :)
