Chkdsk replaces Scandisk in XP as I understand it. I've tried a scan or two
using "chkdsk c:/f" which happens once I reboot the computer. However,
unlike Scandisk.. I don't know what it found and fixed. Reason is the data
it reports shows for about 0.5 seconds.. and my poor tired old brain can't
make out what it says before it disappears.

Is there a way to view that report (make it stick on the screen longer?

Thanks, Bill
 
After you're back in Windows - go to the Event Viewer -
Application - and look for winlogon - that will give you
the Summary

Try this: Start>Run>Cmd This will get you into the "dos prompt" mode.
Then enter "chkdsk". If you get a message something to the effect "...file
not found..", then you will have to go to the directory when chkdsk lives -
on my computer that is C:/windows/system32. Then type in "chkdsk". You can
do a search from the start menu to find out where chkdsk.exe is. On my
computer the dos commands are in the system32 directory, which is the
"path". You can type in "path" after the "cmd" to see what your path is.

Good luck.
