About MS ScanDisk and Windows CheckDisk

Use MS ScanDisk to scan a partition for errors and fix them. MS Scandisk is a system tool included with Windows 9x and Windows Me that you can run from PartitionMagic. The Check for Errors operation will also scan for errors, but it does not fix them for FAT or FAT32 partitions.
MS ScanDisk only scans partitions with assigned drive letters; it does not scan hidden partitions, extended partitions, free space, or partitions with file systems not supported by the active operating system.
For more information about MS ScanDisk and some of the advanced options you can use, see the Windows 95 or Windows 98 online Help.

Windows CheckDisk
Use Windows CheckDisk to scan a partition for errors. Windows CheckDisk is a system tool that you can run from PartitionMagic if you are running Windows NT/2000/XP. Windows CheckDisk only scans partitions with assigned drive letters; it does not scan hidden partitions, extended partitions, unallocated space, or partitions with file systems not supported by the active operating system.
PartitionMagic invokes Windows CheckDisk in read-only mode. In most instances, including the /F switch, to fix errors on an NTFS partition requires a system reboot. If you want to fix discovered partition errors, you should exit PartitionMagic and run CHKDSK /F from the command prompt.

For more information about Windows CheckDisk and some of the advanced options you can use, see the Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP online Help.
