I think the 163 just means that your system lost the time & date.  You will
need to reset them with the startup disk.  The message from CHKDSK probably
indicates that some files were improperly closed on your hard-disk (like 
when you turn the power off without exiting an application to DOS).  Just
let CHKDSK clean-up the mess and you should be fine.
