Hi
Where do you find scandisc in xp?

No such animal in XP, or any of the NT type Windows operating systems. In
XP, it is called "checkdisk" Click start, programs, accessories, then click
on "Command prompt". then type (no quotes) "chkdsk /?", to get the switches
that run the various commands of what you want it to perform.
 
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.

Start > Run > Cmd > 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.
