[quote name='GuyWithGun']You might be able to do what you want if you go to Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management. Then right click on the disk/partition you want to look at and click Properties. Under Tools in that, there is an Error Checking button. Is that what you're looking for?[/QUOTE]
Yaeh that basically does what I was after. And I just remembered what it was that I usually ran through a command prompt - chkdsk plus the fix if necessary. Thanks
