XP, cant find scandisk

[Bob]

I just had XP Home installed a few days ago, registered
it, and I love it. After downloading 45 microsoft
updates and a batch of new programs, I defraged to keep
it orderly, but I cannot find a scandisk anywhere.
Doesn't xp have one???

Windows XP has a "Checkdisk" error-checking utility that replaced
the old "Scandisk" utility in previous versions of Windows.

Try the following maintenance suggestions:
