Scandisk is a program in windows used to check for errors on your hard disk. Only used in Windows 98 or older. Your probably need to run CHKDSK instead.

A or ALL - Scans all local, non-removable hard drives. Autofix - Fixes damages without prompting. Checkonly - Tests for errors but doesn't make any changes. Custom - Configures and runs Scandisk according to the Scandisk. ini file settings. Nosave - With autofix, deletes lost clusters rather than saving as files.
