OK is there a way of activating the scan disc thing earlier versions of Windows had, cos XP seems not to have it.
You know that if you don't shut down you pc properly and you start him up again it runs down this program repairing damaged data and stuff.

Please help me cos my PC is getting slower and slower and says he's got damaged files.

Thanks in advance.

Click on the Start menu
Select My Computer
Use the right mouse button to select the C drive. This will make a new menu appear.

Select Properties
Then select the tools tab.

Under the error checking select check now.
A new screen will show up, one is to automatically fix file system errors and the other is to scan for and detect problems with the hard drive. It is recommended that you select them both.

Click Start
You may be prompted to have Scandisk run when the computer is restarted, click YES when prompted,

You may need to reboot your computer
