3.
Select a drive and click Analyze.
4.
Defragment if it is recommended.
ScanDisk is not present in Windows XP. Instead, use Check Disk. To start Check Disk:
1.
Open My Computer, right-click a drive, and then click Properties.
2.
On the Tools tab, under Error-checking, click Check Now
Sometimes Defragmenter or Scandisk works on 10% or 30% of a hard drive and then hangs. This is usually caused
by Windows programs running in the background. If this happens you can force Windows not to run automatic
background programmes. To run ScanDisk/Defrag successfully:
1.
Go to Start->Run and type msconfig in the Open: box.
