To run it on a drive, open My Computer, right click the drive, and choose Properties. On the Tools tab, click the "Check Now" button. Check either or both (I usually check both) boxes, and click Start. If the disk contains locked files, CHKDSK cannot run immediately, but will ask if you want it to run at the next reboot.

Just keep booting it and eventualy it will check the disk. It's a common xp thing.
