There is a tool in Windows XP called "DiscScan"….it's NOT the dskcheck that checks the drive?

   You are thinking of System File Checker and you will need an XP disc if it tells you that you need to replace a file. Go here and follow the instructions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747

   Chances are, your program has not noticed that Scandisk has been replaced;
   "Q.What happened to ScanDisk?

   A. Windows XP contains an improved disk utility called Check Disk, so ScanDisk is no longer necessary.

   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.
   -To check a particular drive from the command prompt, add the drive letter after the command, for -example, chkdsk c: and the check will be limited to that drive."

   Also, I wouldn’t worry too much about those scary warnings, but if you really want some help with it, the whole warning message would be very useful.
