Win XP Scan Disk

Is there anyway in XP Pro to run a scan disk. I know if you don't shut Windows down properly, it will run one, but is there anyway to do one on your own?

In Explorer, right click on the drive and choose properties and the tools tab. Scan Disk is in there.

Or open a DOS box, and type: chkdsk /f
You will be prompted to run it on the next boot up.
