I want to run scandisk on my computer. What shoul I do. My computer is Pentium 4, OS-Win XP Home Ed.
 
Have a read about "Chkdsk" in the Help and Support program.

Description of Enhanced Chkdsk, Autochk, and Chkntfs Tools in Windows 2000 and Later (Q218461)

At a Command Prompt type Chkdsk /? for a list of uses.

On the Properties Page of any Drive select Tools. In the Error Checking select Check Now. You may have to wait until you reboot for it to run.
 
The easiest way from Windows to do it is like this:

Double-click on my computer
right-click on whichever hard drive you want to do a scan on (probably Local Disk (C:) ) and select properties

Go to the Tools tab on top
Hit the button for error checking.

The old scandisk is gone. Bye bye. I don't quite know why microsoft ax'd it when XP came out.. but.. if you get Norton System Utilities 2002, it puts its own very good Norton Disk doctor in place, and does a much faster/better job at fixing disk problems than Scandisk could have in its dreams.
