Right click on your drive from My Computer or Windows Explorer. Click on Properties. Click on the Tools Tab. Scandisk is now called "Check Now".

Yes there is Scandisk, it is alittle diffeent to use than before. The way you can access it, is to go to My computer Icon on your desktop, then right click on your c: drive, select properties, then select the Tools tab, and select error checking. This will run a scandisk on the hard drive. This will however require that you restart your computer and the scan will appear in the boot process of XP and will run there, once it has finished it will continue to boot up normally.
