Scandisk in Windows 2000/XP/Vista

Latest comment: 15 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

There's no more Scandisk in Windows XP, last I checked. Probably true for 2000 and Vista as well.

So this sentence is misleading: "The disk scanning utility under Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP is also called CHKDSK", because it suggests that Scandisk is still around, together with Chkdsk, on these Windows versions. Resurgent insurgent 03:27, 20 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

If you right click on the drive icon you want to check under My Computer, and go Properties > Tools, you will find the option there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.92.55.143 (talk) 05:08, 6 October 2008 (UTC) Reply

It's not ScanDisk, it's Error checking. Error checking in XP is CHKDSK. PCHS-NJROTC ^(Messages) 03:21, 23 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
