Hi Paul,
That would be chkdsk.
Open My Computer, right-click on the drive icon for which you want to run
chkdsk, select Properties then Tools tab. In the Error-checking section,
click on the Check Now button.

I usually run chkdsk /f /r
You will probably have to let it run on the next boot.

If my memory serves me well, Scandisk could be found in the drive properties
window under TOOLS.. I do believe that there is a function called ERROR
CHECKING that is to be found in the space once occupied by Scandisk..

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.
