Scandisk

[Willy]

Just installed XP Pro. Noticed no Scandisk as there was in 95, 98 & ME.
What gives?
I was trying to set it up in Task Scheduler when I noticed no Scandisk. Any
tricks or tips to running Scandisk (or whatever), Defrag & Disk Cleanup in
my Task Scheduler (in ME I had them run while I slept)?

Go to a command prompt and type...

chkdsk /?

This is XP's counterpart to Scandisk.

Thanks Dev. What's the "?" do?

/? Help suffix, added to any command, displays help/usage.

Sure does Wes.
