Right click the drive in Explorer - click tools
or from the command line type chkdsk /?
chkdsk /f to fix
chkdsk /r to fix and do a surface scan (98 thorough mode)
both these options will ask you to reboot if you are scanning your system
drive.

No. The XP version is called chkdsk.
You can run it from the Start | Run line.

WinXP does not have a program called "Scandisk," as this was a
Win9x/Me program. Instead, because WinXP is descended from the
WinNT/2K OS family, it has a command line utility called "Chkdsk,"
which performs much better, as it's not burdened with presenting a
pretty picture of moving blocks of color while it's working.
Start > Run > Cmd > Chkdsk.exe /? for the correct syntax and
available options.
Alternatively, double-click My Computer > right-click the desired
hard drive > Properties > Tools > Error-checking/Check Now. This will
run Chkdsk, normally on the next reboot.
