From: Joe McGuire on 26 May 2010 21:19
I ran (or thought I ran) CHKDSK. when I staarted to do so it told me files
were open and I checked to have it run on reboot. Then I rebooted the
computer and left for dinner and some errands. When I returned to the
computer maybe 2 hours later It was very nicely booted up and my screensaver
was at work. So my question is: How can I tell if CHKDSK actually ran,
whether it found anything (I had run a diagnostic on a startup earlier in
the day and it reported 3 errors: (1) 1000-0146 Hard drive; (2) 3600:0649
Invalid AC Adapter; and (3) 0f00:136c IDE device failed) and what it did, if
anything? I know it is supposed to provide a report. If it did so, where
can I find it? If it did not run, is there a reason? I ran it from My
Computer, not the command line. Does that make a difference?

The AC adapter seems wierd. I was running on the battery. I have no idea
what IDE means

==============================================
Try the following:

In Windows XP to find the Error-checking log file...
go to...Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Event Viewer /
Application / [Source] Wininit or Winlogon

Double left the entry to see the log...you may find several
entries...look for the appropriate time and date.
