Scandisk in XP

Where is scandisk in xp? And how do you access it?

There is no scandisk in XP.

You can run chkdsk by doing the following:

1) Double-click My computer on the Desktop (or Start, My Computer)

2) Right click on drive

3) Select properties

5) Select tools

6) Select check now

7) Select one or both options  (automatically fix file system errors and/or scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors)

8) Choose start...it will begin scanning.  If you chose to fix errors, it will do it at next reboot.

OR....to to start, run, type in chkdsk /f and it will scan at next boot. 

Hope this helps.   Dave
