xp's version of scandisk?
.
The MS Office Newsgroup is a strange place to ask this
question. However, a simple search on XP's Help & Support
Center returned this:
ChkdskCreates and displays a status report for the disk.
The chkdsk command also lists and corrects errors on the disk.
The chkdsk command with the parameters listed below is only
available when you are using the Recovery Console. The
chkdsk command with different parameters is available from
the command prompt.
chkdsk [drive:] [/p] [/r]
Parameters
none
Used without parameters, chkdsk displays the status of the
disk in the current drive.
drive:
Specifies the drive that you want chkdsk to check.
/p
Performs an exhaustive check even if the drive is not
marked for chkdsk to run. This parameter does not make any
changes to the drive.
/r
Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.
Implies /p.
Note
The chkdsk command requires the file Autochk.exe. If it
cannot find it in the startup directory
(\%systemroot%\System32, by default), it will attempt to
locate it on the Windows Installation CD. If you have a
multiboot computer, be sure you are issuing this command
from the drive containing Windows.
I know that HELP and READ are four-letter words, but they
can resolve most problems quickly.
