ANYWHERE!!

Hi

It's called 'chkdsk' in Windows XP. From a command prompt type "chkdsk =
/?" - without the quotes. That will give you the options available with =
'chkdsk'.

Just right-click on the relevant drive icon in 'My Computer', choose
'Properties', go across to the 'Tools' tab and the equivalent of Scandisk is
the 'Check Now' button.

Alternatively open up a Command Prompt window and type:
CHKDSK C: /f

(replacing C: with the drive letter you actually want to scan)

That's because there is no scandisk on Windows XP. The XP
equivalent is called chkdsk.
