Windows XP

Post by John Hawkins »

Can someone give me the way to find Scan Disk on XP version ? A friend ask about it since he could not find it to run for maintainance purposes . I run Windows 98 so I have no clue about how to find it on Windows XP .I went through the steps I use to run mine but apparently XP version does not list scan disk the same way Windows 98 has it listed .

Thanks for your advise !

2.Click Properties , and then click Tools .
