dnaleri,

On a system with a 40GB hard drive, a thorough chkdsk (chkdsk /f) takes about two minutes.

Whoa, are you kidding me? That is amazing. Does it do the same thing that scan disk did? In other words is chkdsk the same in Windows XP as scan disk in Windows 98? It took 4 hours to do scan disk in Windows 98.
