Scandisk?

[vraa]

argh

i can't seem to find a scandisk type of tool for windows XP

i have used ERror Checking but that won't work for my c: drive

it says some windows files are on that disk and it can't check them but when i restart it still says that even tho it told me it would schedule it to start after windows started... i don't know what to do...

Use chkdsk.

Open a command window and type chkdsk /? to see your options.

Chkdsk usually requires a reboot because it does it's business during boot.

thanks but when i ran it it says i need to restart.. i guess thats what ur talkin about.. it says that this drive can't be locked.. that might be sumtin.. i'm going to restart.. see yall then

If you run straight chkdsk without any switches it will not make you reboot. Guess I should have told you that. Whoops.

all NT based scandisk prgrams have to use NT's builtin api to do that...so they all are pretty much differnt interfaces for chkdsk :)

when you do chkdsk use /V (verbose) it will tell you more info about your prblms

btw, all NT based defrag prgrms have to use NT's builtin api too so they all are pretty much the same
