You have to boot into DOS, not open a DOS box. When you are in a DOS
box, you are still in windows. Choosing Shutdown and Boot to DOS is
the easiest way. You can hold down the F8 key as Windows boots to get
a menu to also get you to a "Boot into DOS".

I have the exact same problem as described by Kent Jacobson in his
message.
As suggested by someone on this list I went to DOS prompt and typed
scandisk C:\ but it promptly jumps back to Windows and starts the same
old scan disk in Windows.
How can I get it to scandisk in DOS?
