Default OT Scandisk ?

I'm finding my computer sometimes flashes into a blue screen (can
never read this) then reboots. I think it maybe a windows or disk
error.
The first thing I want to try is Scandisk, which you run from DOS. How
do you get to this point? F8 comes up with Uguru screen etc, F2 seem
to not respond. A noddy guide would be appreciated.

Thanks


XP, 2000 etc....?

(XP scandisk can be accessed by right clicking on the disk drive icon when
you've gone into 'my computer' - select properties then tools and finally
error checking)

Blue screen can be caused by driver problems - have you installed new
hardware recently?
