Does anybody know if there is a scandisk program within Win XP?Also, I have Direct x 9c installed on the PC I cant find the Direct x diagnostic tool, although I have searched my HDBest Wishes,Chris

Hi Chris,Of course there is! Double-click on My Computer. Right-click on the hard drive that you would like to scan and then go into the Tools tab. The first option should be "Check now..." That will run Scandisk for that hard drive.Hope this helps.Edwin

Many Thanks Edwin, I think we would all be in trouble if it wasn't for your expertise ! Best Wishes,Chris
