Gene,
On XP, and probably Vista:
1. Open My Computer
2. Right Click on the Drive and select Properties.
3. Select the Tools tab
There should be an option there to Scan / Check the drive.
HTH,
Everett

Dave,
Excellent advice! Previous editions of Windows provided a "checkdisk"
tool.
I don't believe XP and beyond does. It may be because hard drives have
gotten to be huge.

No criticism, but you should run a disk checking program on any drive or
disk before using a program to defragment any drive or disk that you want
defragmented.
Very often, defragmenting programs cannot or, will not, complete their
task
if the programs encounter incorrectly assigned track, sector and data
errors
on a hard drive or disk. That is why running a disk checking program
first
is so important.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
