Aaron Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Backup is probably a feature for XP Professional Only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misskellibad1 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Not so, backup is not installed by default, it's on your disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvette Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 And ScanDisk has been replaced by a GUI and command line tool called Chkdsk (Open a command prompt window and type CHKDSK X: (X is the drive letter for thedrive you want to check) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkkavenger Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 If you want your disk to be fully scanned at next reboot, open a console Start> Run> type "Cmd" > OKwrite there CHKDSK X: /F (where X: is the drive, and /F option to force checking of the disk).You will be prompted if you want to do the check the next time your station restart. Type in 'y' and press enter.then exit the console and restart your box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
