Can anyone tell me if there is a 'scandisc' facility with
Win XP, as there is on Win 98? If so, where can I find it?

Cheers, Aly
 
Right click on the c drive in my computer and select properties, then select
the tools tab.
 
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 > 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
