    Is there any way I can do about getting scandisk after W2K boots (The scandisk dos-based not Windows's) ??

    I doubt it'd be compatible with NTFS.

    I need to run it after it loads kernel (you know the second phase of boot I think) . Sometimes it comes suddenly . I tried restarting the machine many times , did improper shutdown , but couldn't get it to scan my hd .

    Look at the options for the disk checker, there's one to force a check on startup.

    No , I've tried that already . It closes immediately after I click "Check Now" . The real problem is that the drive is not accessible . I got a problem while it's running fine . Suddenly power went off . so I got this problem .

    Wow... uh... That's a new one to me!

    Your hard drive is most likely physically damaged.

    What happened yesterday was your drive failing.

    It has probably completely failed now.

    In windows XP chkdsk /r for the boot partition will schedule a check disk at the next startup. Havent tried it in win2k but worths a try.
