ScanDisk and Defrag in Windows NT There is no ScanDisk with Windows NT, nor is there a defragmentation utility. The Microsoft solution for Windows NT defragmentation depends upon the type of file system in use. If it is NTFS, then you must perform a backup, blow the data away, and restore it to achieve defragmentation. If it is a FAT partition, then Microsoft recommends booting into DOS 6.22 and using its defrag utility. The disk checking feature with Windows NT is Check Disk. Right-click a drive in My Computer and choose Check for errors. If the drive cannot be locked, a dialog box will appear, asking if you would like to do it the next time NT starts up.
