Checking the hard drive for errors

The Error-checking program in Windows XP and Windows 2000 or ScanDisk
program in Windows Me and Windows 98 examines the hard drive for
physical flaws and file and folder problems. These programs correct file and
folder problems and mark flawed areas on the hard drive so that Windows
does not use them.
If you use your computer several hours every day, you probably want to run
Error-checking or ScanDisk once a week. If you use your computer less
frequently, once a month may be adequate. Also use Error-checking or
ScanDisk if you encounter hard drive problems.
