Are you sure you are running win2k ?
Or
Are you running a dual boot system
win98se and win2k ?
Scandisk in not a true win2k file.
If it's chkdsk you are taking about, here
are the commands for it..
----------------------------------
This command(s) must be enter in the DOS window
Start/Run cmd then the command
-------------
Chkdsk
Creates and displays a status report for a disk, based on the file system used. Chkdsk
also lists and corrects errors on the disk. If chkdsk cannot lock the drive it will
offer to check it the next time the computer restarts.
Issuing the chkdsk command on a fixed disk requires you be a member of the Administrators
group.
chkdsk [drive:][[path] filename] [/f] [/v] [/r] [/l[:size]] [/x]
Parameters
none
Used without parameters, chkdsk displays the status of the disk in the current drive.
drive:
Specifies the drive that contains the disk that you want chkdsk to check.
[path] filename
Specifies the location and name of a file or set of files that you want chkdsk to
check for fragmentation. You can use wildcard characters (* and ?) to specify multiple
files.
/f
Fixes errors on the disk. The disk must be locked. If chkdsk cannot lock the drive
it will offer to check it the next time the computer restarts.
/v
Displays the name of each file in every directory as the disk is checked.
/r
Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. The disk must be locked.
/l[:size]
NTFS only. Changes the log file size to the size you enter. Displays the current
size if you don't enter a new one.
/x
NTFS only. Forces the volume to dismount first, if necessary. All open handles to
the volume are then invalid. This switch also includes the functionality of the /f
switch.
/i
NTFS only. Performs a less vigorous check of index entries, reducing the amount of
time needed to run chkdsk.
/c
NTFS only. Skips the checking of cycles within the folder structure, reducing the
amount of time needed to run chkdsk.
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
*******************************
Chkntfs
Displays or specifies whether automatic system checking is scheduled to be run on
a FAT, FAT32, or NTFS volume when the computer is started.
You must be a member of the local Administrators group to use the chkntfs command.
chkntfs [/t[:time]] [/x] [/c] volume: [...]
chkntfs /d
Parameters
volume:
Displays a message identifying the file system of the specified volume and, if automatic
file checking is scheduled to be run, displays a message indicating whether the volume
has been corrupted, requiring chkdsk to be run.
/d
Restores all chkntfs default settings, except the countdown time for automatic file
checking. Default behavior is to check all volumes when the computer is started.
/t
Displays or changes the countdown time for automatic file checking. For example:
chkntfs /t Displays the countdown time for automatic file checking.
chkntfs /t:30 Changes the countdown time to 30 seconds.
Though you can set countdown time to zero, doing so prevents the user from cancelling
a potentially time-consuming automatic file check.
/x
Excludes the specified volume from being checked when the computer starts, even if
the volume is marked as requiring chkdsk to be run.
This command is not accumulative. If you enter it more than once, it overrides the
previous entry. To exclude multiple volumes, list them all in one command. For example:
chkntfs /x e: f: excludes both the e and f volumes.
chkntfs /x e:, followed by chkntfs /x f:, will exclude only the f volume from being
checked.
/c
Schedules the specified volume to be checked when the computer starts.
This command is accumulative. If you want only the specified volume to be checked,
first reset the defaults to clear any previous commands, then, exclude all volumes
from being checked, and finally, schedule automatic file-checking on the desired
volume.
For example, to schedule automatic file checking on the d volume only, enter the
following:
chkntfs /d (This restores the default settings.)
chkntfs /x c: d: e: (This excludes the c, d, and e volumes from being checked.)
chkntfs /c d: (This schedules automatic file checking on the d volume.)
