Ah, yes, the problem with NT. I cannot find anything equivalent on standard NT versions to do defrag/scandisk. I realize it uses a different system (NTFS), but there still ought to be a way to diagnose file problems & clean up disks without having to purchase a 3rd party product. Am I missing something?

I've heard that Diskeeper will become standard in all NT eventually, by NT5 (or now NT2K)...and I have a copy of Diskeeper I'm testing on NTWS (we have it standard on all our NT servers), so I can use that. But what about everyone else with NT, what is used instead of defrag/scandisk?
