If you are having problems when you have formatted and installed Windows XP Home Edition, try doing that, then upgrading to Windows XP Professional. When you have booted up into Windows XP Home Edition normally, put in your Windows XP Professional disc, choose "Install Windows XP" and then follow the prompts.

scan disk (called CHKDSK in WinXP btw)
No it isn't. Windows XP has both Scandisk and chkdsk.

Thing is, in order to fix errors on the main Windows drive, you'll need to find out how to set it so CHKDSK runs during bootup, then reboot.
If chkdsk can't run because the volume is in use, it will ask if you want to scan at boot.
