No such utility in XP. Chkdsk /? at the command line will display the
comparable options.

Sorry to be repeating this if you have seen it. I find lately my posts are
either not appearing or taking a few days to do so.

My question is can someone please remind me how to scan disk in XP.

Thanks in advance

B.W.

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 > 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

My computer has started doing a scan disk every time I start it, even though I shut it down correctly, I've also done a system restore, defrag and it still does it. This has happened to me before and I had to re-format my hard drive, I really don't want to go through that again, any help would be appreciated.
