Hi Tristram
Most interesting, I do not get scandisc by following your instructions nor do I
have a file on this system called scandisc, or any sensible variation of it's
spelling. I had it on my Win 98 machine but haven't seen it since upgrading to
XP many years ago, As defragment is provided I had assumed that it was no
longer necessary. Perhaps I should download a copy from somewhere.
Regards
Philip

I don't know the answer to that, but both are available when you press
alt+enter on a drive in "my computer" and switch using control+tab to get to
the "tools" page. It is generally a good idea whilst running a scandisk to
check the two checkboxes for automatically fixing errors and recovery of
errors. This way windows is forced to chedule this for the next reboot which
should ensure it does a good job if you happen to be checking the drive your
Windows is on.

Hi Tristram,
If I should really run scandisk before defragmenting why is scandisk not
included in the system tools in Windows XP.

You should gnerally run scan disk before you defragment as errors that
may be on disk can potentially become disasterously unrecoverable if the
operating system then tries to compact these during the defragment process.
