Chaz,

In Windows Explorer, right-click on the drive you wish to scan. Choose
Properties. Click the Tools tab and under Error Checking, click Check Now.
 
Scandisk is no longer supported (search for scandisk
in Start>Help&Support).
Open a command window and type
chkdsk /?
to see the formats for chkdsk.
Chkdsk incorporates (/F and /R) the functions of
Scandisk.
