| 362118 | 2005-06-08 08:53:00 | Ummmmm, where does one find ScanDisk on XP?? :( | B.M. (505) | ||
| 362119 | 2005-06-08 09:01:00 | It is called Chkdsk on XP now instead. You can find it under the tools tab of the properties of the drive in My Computer, or I think it is also located under Accessories > System Tools. :) | Jen (38) | ||
| 362120 | 2005-06-08 09:03:00 | or simply chkdsk from the command line. Use chkdsk /? for options | b1naryb0y (3) | ||
| 362121 | 2005-06-08 09:03:00 | Right click C Drive. Go to Properties - Tools - Error Checking and I think you will find that that is XP's answer to Scan Disk. | olwyn (8088) | ||
| 362122 | 2005-06-08 09:44:00 | Thanks guys & gals. So we've done the full circle back to DOS speak. I still remember those messages when Windows came in to the effect that chkdsk wasn't up to it, scandisk was the answer. Why oh why couldn't they have stuck to the same terminology all the way through?? :confused: |

| 362123 | 2005-06-08 09:48:00 | PS is there a /F suffix to fix any problems from the command line? | B.M. (505) | ||
| 362124 | 2005-06-08 09:55:00 | PS is there a /F suffix to fix any problems from the command line? yes chkdsk /F will fix errors. chkdsk /? for help |
