[pchelpers] no scan disk in win xp

Just in case you are new to xp and are looking for scandisk:
Tip from the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

The ScanDisk utility is not available in Windows XP. However, you can use the 
Error-Checking tool in Windows XP to check the integrity of your hard disk. To 
check for file system errors and bad sectors on your hard disk, follow these 
steps: 

Double-click My Computer, and then right-click the local disk that you want to 
check. 
Click Properties, and then click Tools. 
Under Error-checking, click Check Now. 
Under Check disk options, select the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad 
sectors check box. 
Click Start. 

Sincerely,
