can anyone tell me where to find the chkdsk utility in
windows XP?
 
Start computer with your WIN XP cd and select repair.
Select the OS and type in your admin password. At the
prompt type CHKDSK /P

Click to expand...

It can be invoked as follows...
START|RUN
Type "cmd" <enter>
Type "chkdsk /f" for a list of options

It can also be brought up within XP...
Right-click on the C: drive, click PROPERTIES|TOOLS tab.
Click on Error-checking.
A check can be scheduled at next reboot.
 
Greetings --

Start > Run > 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
