40635 2002-03-27 05:07:00 Is this a silly question or what?

I have noted the recent advice in Press F1 to run Scandisk before Defragging but for the life of me I can't find Scandisk in any of the menus and it's not even mentioned in Osborne's 'Complete Reference to Windows 2000'.

Does it exist in W2K?

Thanks, Michael.

40636 2002-03-27 05:31:00 Hah!! It must have been a silly question 'cause I found it (or at least I think I did).

It is hidden in My Computer/Properties/Tools as 'Error Checking'.

I tried it, but it will only run on a reboot (or perhaps in safe mode)

Classic Microsoft, take a well known tool, rename it something arcane then hide it where the sun don't shine!

Press F1 triumphs again (unless somebody wants to tell me I'm deluded again).
