I do have a wincedows partion , but haven't used it for many weeks now and
when i last used it, i think it shutdown properly

however under Ubuntu itself i think a few times the laptop was on battery
and when into shutdown mode on its own after the battery was drained, and i
think maybe once something happened and i could get no response so had to do
a hard poweroff.

So is there anyway to do scandisk without going to windows (meaning) any
linux equivalent etc

thanks for the inputs
