Corrupt Program Files Folder (Semi-Long Post) [Resolved]

[RobDog888]

I have tried searching and didn't find anything. I wanted to know
if this was a virus, physical hd error, or something else. When my
windows loads (XP) it pops up a balloon telling me that my
Program Files folder is corrupt. Good for me that I have two
drives, but I have lost access to all my programs installed on my
D drives Program Files folder. Everything else was fine.

I scheduled several scan disks with the fix and repair options.
The scan disk does its thing, but it goes through over 100,000
files saying that its deleting attribute (128, ""). And another one
saying fixing minor error in file xxxxxx. These two lines are paired
up to a file in the P&G folder I assume. The thing is that now I'm
getting a corruption notification for the Windows folder.

I have been at this for a day now hoping that I can avoid a
reformat because my system is a headache to load. I am running
two raid mirrors. One mirror for my C drive and the other mirror
for my D drive. Total drives is four. I was thinking about breaking
the mirrors to see if I could narrow it down to a particular drive.

So if ANYONE can offer any suggestions I would owe you a
un-countable amount of thank yous.

Thanks for reading this too.
