    Feeling pretty dumb, but ScanDisk was easy to find and use with WindowsMe. Now I learn that it's called CheckDisk in XP but how do you find it and use it?

    Here are a few ways to access Scandisk:

    Start, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management, Storage, right-click the Volume, Tools, Options, Check Now button, Select Options, Start.

    Start, All Programs, Accessories, Windows Explorer (right where it is really handy!), Expand My computer, right-click the drive, Properties, Tools, Check Now..., Select Options, Start.

    Start, right-click My Computer, Manage, Storage, Disk Management, right-click the Volume, Properties, Tools, Check Now..., Select Options, Start.

    Double-click My computer on the Desktop (or Start, My Computer), select drive, File, Properties, Tools, Check Now..., Select Options, Start.

    My Computer, right-click the drive, Properties, Tools, Check Now..., Select Options, Start.

    This is the most amazing reply, and should be on file for all newcomers to XP! I'm very grateful!
