CHKDSK is called Scandisk in 98. Hard drive manufacturers also have
test programs at their sites.

Here is my info, links are like us, they die. If any of these links are
dead or are no longer freeware, at least you have the name of the
program which you put into a search engine like Google & maybe you can
let me know the latest info.
I am not recommending anything, my list gives you a starting point to
find something to suit your operating system ( most people do not even
mention it ) & skill level. What will work on my computer, may not be
happy on yours. What I can understand, re how to install & run, may not
apply to you.

ISTR that the disk checker which came with ME was widely used by the
Win98 fraternity as it was faster and supposed to be better.
