In XP it is called "error checking" and it is on the tools page of your hard disk's properties. Open "my computer," focus on the hard drive, hit alt enter, control tab to the tools page. Space bar on the error checking button and then on start. ----- Original Message ----- From: kevin To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 5:13 AM Subject: scan disk Hi can anyone tell me if there is a scan disk facility in win xp? if so where can I find it and is it accessable with Jaws? many thanks
