You have to run chkdsk:- (Norton's won't fix it as it has
to be fixed next time you boot your computer).

To start Check Disk
1. Open My Computer, right-click a drive, and then
click Properties.
2. On the Tools tab, under Error-checking, click
Check Now

When you run Chkdsk at the Recovery Console, some options
are not available.
The Chkdsk command used when you boot to the Recovery
Console is not the same as the one used within a full
Windows session. Only two switches are available for this
version:
. /P Performs an exhaustive check of the current
disk.
. /R Repairs damage on the current disk.
If your system is able to boot to Windows either normally
or in Safe Mode and you suspect that you have disk errors,
you should use the full Chkdsk command.
