Re: WinXP scandisc

Click "Start", "Run". Type "chkdsk c: /f" (without quotes) and press "Enter". Now, the computer should point out it cannot dismount the current drive. This is OK. It should offer to schedule a chkdsk on the next reboot. Press Y.

Reboot the machine, and allow chkdsk to run. This should clear the flag that is telling XP to check the disk.
