Windows XP has a "Checkdisk" error-checking utility that replaced
the old "Scandisk" utility in previous versions of Windows.

Please don't yell at us. We can hear you if you type normally, in
mixed case.
Windows XP has no scandisk. The XP equivalent is called chkdsk.
Enter chkdsk at the Start | Run line.

Greetings --
First of all, please unstick your CapsLock key. Posting in all
caps, as you have done, is the Usenet equivalent of shouting, and is
considered very rude. More importantly, posting in all caps makes the
post very hard to read, further reducing your chances of getting help.
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.
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.

True, Sam:
If you only want to do the 30 second, three step check that doesn't
fix anything. The five step option is explained in the second link.
