Win2k Pro & Scan Disk

I'm somewhat new to win2000 and learning it's In's and Outs. With win98 you could run ScanDisk to check for errors or to clean your drive whenever you needed to. How would i go about doing this with win2000? I've got no scandisk in my startup menu, so either the program is hidden or it doesnt exist or has been integrated into something else on win2k.

I dont have any hd problems, i would just like to scan disk because i like to be precautious. I've been downloading alot of stuff lately and i'm about to go ahead and defragment. I know defragging automatically does a pre-scan... but i want to know how to do a separate scan disk on my own should i feel the need.

Does the win2k dos provide a scandisk command like win98 did?

Ahhh. Ok. Thanks, man. They renamed it and it's in the properties dialogue box. Found it.
