Assuming we're talking about a DOS prompt from within Windows XP (as you mention System Restore)

CHKDSK will check a disk for errors. Type CHKDSK /? at a command prompt for more details

A proper uninstall can only be done from Windows as you need to remove files installed in various places such as C:\Windows as well as the main directrory and registry entries.

see your other thread..

or search the techie forum for chkdsk for other diagnostics you can do, and linux boot disks.

(assuming you are talking about the same XP problem?)
