Hi HB, In XP Scandisk is called the Error-checking tool. Open 'My Computer', right-click the drive you want to check click on 'Properties'> 'Tools' tab> in the 'Error-checking> 'Check Now'. Choose the "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors," then click OK. Mike ~ It is a good day if I learned something new.
