Disk Check

I can't seem to find disk check in Vista RC2. My hard disk has some bad
blocks I noticed in event viewer. Want to run a disk scan and check for bad
blocks, anyone can point me in the right direction?

Re: Disk Check

Open My Computer, right click the drive you want to check and select
Properties, go to Tools tab and click the Check Now button.
Or from a Command Prompt window use the old CHKDSK command.
