Cannot run Scandisk on XP

[hutch]

actually same ans as for a previous poster - w/this
caveat - ntfs file sys req's that - 'the disk be locked'
so that it - 'checkdisk/chkdsk.exe - not scandisk - must
start before windows xp runs - ie
so try this
run gui/graphic user interface/ver - in tools - ie
go start/right click - my computer/open/
go right click - local disk/properties/
go tools tab/
go 'error checking section'/click-'error chk now'/
click on - 'both options' - on dialog box/
ans 'yes' - to sched reboot/
reboot/turn off-then turn on/
note
this fr my resp to prev post - ie
"
that's - checkdisk/chkdsk.exe
scandisk - no longer incl/supported
and here's an mskb article on the prob/possible ans - ie

Chkdsk Runs Each Time That You Start Your Computer
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Microsoft Windows XP Professional

and take it fr there
