Click Start/Run

1) Please lose the caps - it's considered yelling, is incredibly rude,
and makes your posts very hard to read.

2) If you're running Scandisk - and that is the verbatim error - then
you're not running XP as it doesn't exist. No NT-based OS has had it;
instead they use Checkdisk. If this is the case, then please repost in a
group more appropriate to your operating system.
 
You'll always get this comment if your PC is connected on a network - disconnect the network cable.
