The closest thing to scandisk in XP is chkdsk which will run only when it's needed or when you don't want it to...it's still Windows after all. :whistling:

You will still have to defrag once in a while, but not nearly as often with XP...the NTFS file system is a little better at keeping things together.

If you have any more problems or questions, you know where to find us!

Thanks again to peterm...as usual, your help was right on the mark!
