scandisk is a utility in msdos and microsoft windows systems which checks and repairs file systems and bad clusters on the hard drive. it was introduced in msdos version 6.2. previous versions of msdos supplied only the simpler, purely textbased program chkdsk .
in windows 95 onwards, scandisk also had a graphical user interface, although the text interface continued to be available for use in singletasking ("dos") mode.
scandisk can't check ntfs disk drives and therefore isn't available for computers running nt based (including windows 2000, windows xp, etc.) versions of windows: a newer chkdsk is provided instead (not to be confused with the older msdos chkdsk).
