CHKDSK
in [Windows XP]

From: rogeepete on 24 Mar 2010 08:54 I ran this to check on my hard drive.although I do not have any problems now. I just wanted to familiarize this checking facility. I did this via: My Computer, My C (hard) drive, properties.tools. automatically fix errors....then, I received a message that I would have to restart windows. I did this and the chkdsk ran, but when I came to the listing of the results of the check, the screen disappeared in a split second - I could not even read the results and the pause key did not hold it on either. I'd like to see the results and would expect that one should be able to read them. Thanks for any help. -- Roger

To open the Event Viewer enter eventvwr.msc in the Start menu Run box. Double click on the event to open it. John

Start->Run->"eventvwr.msc" Then click on the "Application" on the left and look for a "Winlogon" entry as a Source on the right side. It will only save the first so many bytes of the log, so if you have a lot of problems, you will only see the first few. HTH, John

I suppose there must be a limit, but I had a disk that had extensive corruption and CHKDSK generated a VERY long report. The entire thing was saved in the event log. I think it would be foolish for Microsoft to allow the report to be cut short, as there's no other way to see what CHKDSK has done if it's a bootup process. That could be vital information!
