how do you schedule a disk error check using scheduled tasks?

[Guest]

I wanted to use scheduled tasks to run Error Checking on the C: hard disk on
a once a month schedule. But Error Checking isn't in the list of available
tasks and I don't know the name of the executable to browse for it. And can
you configure a hard disk error check to save the results of a scan to a
report/text file?
