Just moved on from win 98 to XP. Wanted to check if I
had stuffed up so went looking for scan disc. Found a
long page giving details of siomething similar but is
there an easy way to run scan disc on XP.

Many thanks
 
To check your disk for error:
1. Open My Computer
2. Right-click on the disk drive which you want to check and click
"Properties"
3. On the Tools tab, click "Check Now"

Windows XP has no scandisk. The XP equivalent is called chkdsk.
Enter chkdsk at the Start | Run line.
