Vista Home Premium replacement for scandisk?

[Bascom King]

I am wondering what Vista Home Premium has for the equivalent of the
scandisc program of past OS's. I have a external USB connected drive I want
to check for bad sectors, etc. How do I do it in Vista?

Thanks in advance,
Bascom King

Right click the drive, Properties, Tools, Check for errors. Or command line:
chkdsk [driveletter], or chkdsk /? for more options.

Thanks, Dustin - I remembered that after I had posted the original question.
