I am experiencing a boot-up problem on XP - it keeps locking. After pressing reset it can boot up normally (sometimes 2or 3 times and occasionally with a FAT table fix screen). Suggested diagnosis is a bad disc sector, however I cannot find An XP version of scandisk on my system. (Nb. the computer in question is standalone with no web access)

It's in control panel->computer management->disk management, right click the disk and somewhere in there - this is from memory I don't have XP installed.My master plan is to live forever..... going to plan so far
Despite the cost of living, it's still very popular.
No good deed goes unpunished....
