As I told Toriq in a separate message - THERE IS NO Scandisk feature 
built in to NT.  You must use "chkdsk".  You can run chkdsk from a 
normal command prompt within NT or you can schedule chkdsk to run each 
time upon bootup by placing "/SOS" after the normal boot line in 
boot.ini.
When run from a command prompt within NT, use /f as a parameter if you 
wish to repair any errors.  NT will not repair errors on a drive that's 
in use or the boot drive.  It will, however, ask you if you wish to 
schedule the repair on the next bootup.
And...NT is not "self fixing".  Cluster errors, orphaned long file 
names, etc. must be fixed manually by using chkdsk.
