Yes, it is still part of Norton System Works. And, I agree in theory that
Peter Norton had superior products; although it is purely speculative as to
whether the path of development would've continued.

A program that was infinitely superior than Check disk or Scan Disk was ever or, could ever be, was Norton Disk Doctor.
That program could find and fixed problems that neither Check disk nor Scan Disk could find.
In Norton System Tools, Is Disk doctor Still included and, if it is, is it still reasonably accessible with JAWS?
Personally speaking, I do not think that the Norton Utilities have been as good since Symantech bought Peter Norton out.

can run this okay, but, can't read results. Only runs on restart because
windows needs exclusive access to some files. Does anyone know where the log
is if any?

I remember chkdsk fondly. I think "error checking" in XP replaced scan disk. To access it, enter "my computer", hit alt enter on the hard drive to be checked, control tab once to tools where you will find error checking. After you enter on that, there are two automatic fix options. If you check those, it will take longer.

Check Disk, did not replace Scan disk.
Check Disk has been a program built into all Microsoft operating systems since the first release of MS-DOS.
As for Scan Disk, many of its functions have been integrated as an integral part of Windows XP, That is why it is not included as a program in Windows XP nome and professional.

Do any of you run "check disk" which replaces "scan disk" in Windows XP? Does JAWS handle this OKAY? Is there anything that I should be aware of before I attempt this? Dick I am running Windows XP Home edition, JFW 6.2, Pentium 4 2.6 GHz.
