Been a while since I touched Win2k, but if you right click on your C drive, choose properties, then the tools tab...do you see it there? *I have no idea if that is right, on XP now*

Edit: Are you using an NTFS file system?

i had never tried that! cool.

anyway, i see something called "error checking" which looks like it might be the same thing. if it is, why would they have changed the name?? goofy microsoft. :confused:

Yeah in Win2k they refer to it as "Check Disk" which, way back in the day with dos was a program to fix drive errors but then was supposedly replaced with ScanDisk....
