Problem with errors in partition

[Atom222]

I'm running winxp sp2 with 2 Seagare hard disks. EasyRecovery Pro and Seagte Tools reported that I have critical system structure in certain partitisions of my disks. So as advised by many websites, I did several checks with winxp's chkdsk which all reported no errors and fixed nothing. No bad clusters either.

This morning, I did another test with Vcom's Fixt-it and it reported that there's no error in my disks. Don't know what and who to believe and I dare not defragment just in case there's in fact something wrong. And BTW, I don't get cranky sounds from my PC and all the software that I've installed are running fast and efficiently.

Is there any other tools that I can use? I append below Seagate's report just in case it might explain my problem better.

Thank you.

Recommendation:

All selected physical diagnostics passed.

If you are not experiencing data loss and SeaTools reports File

System Structure errors, they may be caused by a lock-up or

failure to shutdown Windows correctly. Many times, these errors

may be repaired through normal system maintenance which

includes using the Windows provided "Defrag" and

"Scandisk / Chkdsk / Error Checking" utilities.

If you are experiencing a hardware error, you should isolate

the cause and replace the failing component. If you are unsure how

to proceed with repairs, contact a computer professional. After

completing any maintenance tasks, run SeaTools again to

verify that all errors have been repaired. If errors continue to

occur, the system may not be stable. Again, contact a computer

professional.
