It's running Chkdsk because it sees a problem but does not fixes it.
Chkdsk does not correct errors without the /F parameter. Go to Run, type CHKDSK /F and say yes to run at next boot. Then reboot and let it run and fix the errors. (note the space before the /F)
A reminder to also set the drive letter you want to be checked, if applicable.
This will stop XP Chkdsk from running the next time.

Wow this is a new one... check to see if you have disk checker or error checker is listed in your automated tasks... Go to Start>All Programs>System Tools>Scheduled Tasks... remove chkdsk or autochk from your scheduled tasks.
If you can get there on a normal boot try booting in safe mode by hitting f8 repeatedly until the boot menu appears.

Hold the F8 button down or just tap it repeatedly while its starting back up, you get the option to go to same mode or F2 or F12-these are preliminary set up and boot routine, just don't mess with BIOS.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.

Have you added RAM or a hard drive, particularly RAM? This is usually caused by one of the two.

Do you shut down your computer properly? This could be the problem.
