I was looking through the log files for vista and noticed some ntfs errors
on my G drive and something about running chkdsk on it. In XP chkdsk had to
run at startup and I seem to remember that I used to schedule it to run from
disk management but I don't see that option in vista.

So how do I schedule a chkdsk to run on one of my drives in vista?


Thanks,
 
Open Vista's Help and Support and type: Error Checking in
the Search box, press your Enter key and click on the topic
titled "Check your hard drive for errors".

Thanks,

Tried running it and while it was running kept getting errors and asked if I
wanted to backup the data, since the drive only held an old version of XP on
it, I've opted to just turn off the drive since it sits in one of these ATA
drive case where you can turn the key and cut the power to the drive.

But thanks for the information on where it is, much appreciated.
