Default Disk Check

I can't seem to find disk check in Vista RC2. My hard disk has some bad
blocks I noticed in event viewer. Want to run a disk scan and check for bad
blocks, anyone can point me in the right direction?

Default Disk Check

Open My Computer, right click the drive you want to check and select
Properties, go to Tools tab and click the Check Now button.
Or from a Command Prompt window use the old CHKDSK command.
