Default Can't scan for errors in XP pro

Despite it's many faults there are some things about windows 98se that I miss: Like being able to scan drive C for errors! In windows 98se I used to be able to find 'disk defragger', 'disk cleanup' and 'scandisk', all of which were in system tools. In XP pro I can't seem to locate 'scandisk' which is a bummer because drive 'C' is in bad need of an error scan. Does anyone know if XP includes this feature and if so, where can I find it? If it doesn't have this feature then where can I download something similar?
Thanks in advance!

right click ur c drive and properties, in one of the tabs i think the 2nd one you have choice to defrag,scandisk or backup. also tweak xp allows u to do those as well as recover bad sectors.
