Scan disk?

[Lynn]

Does XP have "scandisk" like the previous versions?
I find the defrag, but not scandisk.


Thanks!

Greetings --

WinXP does not have a program called "Scandisk," as this was a
Win9x/Me program. Instead, because WinXP is descended from the
WinNT/2K OS family, it has a command line utility called "Chkdsk,"
which performs much better, as it's not burdened with presenting a
pretty picture of moving blocks of color while it's working.

Start > Run > Cmd, Chkdsk.exe /? for the correct syntax and
available
options.

Alternatively, double-click My Computer > right-click the desired
hard drive > Properties > Tools > Error-checking/Check Now. This will
run Chkdsk, normally on the next reboot.

If you can't find it, what does that tell you, you cloth-eared bint? Gawd

I did that.
Does it come up to a box that looks like a "DOS" box?
If so then I was able to run it.

Thanks!!
