Can someone please give me some complete directions or
something to help me find and run ScanDisk? I have
looked for it and I cannot find it. It is not where the
instructions on Symantecs site said they should be.
Thanks
 
From my computer or explorer, right click the drive you want to check and
select properties. On the tools tab, select error checking. Check the
options as appropriate.

Jason's reply is correct, only omitting that scandisk for XP is chkdsk,
a reversion to an earlier name.

(Hmm, does Symnatec really tell people to use Scandisk for XP? Nothing
like giving out bad information, if so.)
