I just overcame an issue that had me tearing my hair out. I run XP Pro retail with SP1. Running chkdsk, I kept getting error reports about the vol bitmap and allocated space. After submitting a support request to Microshit and them not answering it, I further pursued the matter.
If you uninstall several progs, Microshit themselves have posted info that chkdsk will not shrink down the MFT. Hence, it reports an error about unallocated space. So the problem seemed to be that the MFT can grow but never shrink back down like it probably should. They had mentioned that you may need to use a 3rd party utility.
I went to the website for Diskeeper, and found that it defragged the MFT during a bootime defrag. Bingo. This solved my problem.
I'm posting all this because I know Sephiroth had the same exact issue and this solved it for him too.
