Windows Corrupt File Problem?

Essentially, my problem is this. I am constantly getting a message that tells me my "System Volume Information" has been corrupted and that I need to run something called "Chkdsk" (which I ran, but it didn't do anything).

I haven't noticed any particular problem with my computer since these messages started appearing, so what I really want to know is how on earth do I get this message to stop appearing?

    The most likely cause is a bloated registry which has become the home for all kinds of useless bits and pieces of data. The operating system while running your computer has to pick its way through all this excess material. There is a multitude of useless bits and pieces to be removed.Parts of uninstalled programs,parts of incompletely installed programs,dead drivers and many other things. clean your registry and remove all the useless data fragments and no longer needed information to fix the errors!I should like to commend Registry Easy (http://www.cleanup-comuter-run-perfectly.com/ to you ! Of course you can also try others!

    Try this:

    Start > Run. In the box type "cmd" without the quotes. At the black DOS screen type "sfc /scannow" again without the quotes. This will check for corrupt or missing system files.
