    Hello All.

    I went to do a Scan Disk yesterday and it is missing? How can that be?

    I went to Help and Support, Clicked on Tools and it wasn't there....Disk Clean Up and Disk Defragementor are.

    So I checked under Programs>Accessories>System Tools.....and it wasn't there either.

    Any ideas...am I looking in the wrong place.....I searched help and it is not even referenced in there.

    This is a single user computer....with a NTFS HD.

    Thanks so much

    Scandisk was replaced in XP by Chkdsk - for more info on this command see either Help & Support or here

    Basically go .....

    Start > Run > chkdsk /r - if the disk you wish to check contains the operating system you will be asked if you wish to schedule the action at the next reboot. Agree and reboot.
