It is check disk in XP. It scans the drives for errors such as bad clusters
and can repair them. To run this, right click on the drive in Explorer and
select Properties. On the Tools tab under Error-checking click the Check
Now button to start the scan.

Thank You for clearing that for me. I have used scandisk before, I have even
used your suggestion error check but did not know that it was the same thing.
Thank You.
