I checked the boxes for "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors." It hadn't finished by the time I left. When I came in this morning, there was a message box saying that the check had completed successfully, but I haven't been able to find the results (i.e. if there were any corrupt files or other errors). A subsequent run of chkdsk (in the console with no

switches) informs me that there are no bad sectors and that the indexes check out and there are no errors. Usually I run chkdsk on the command line and am able to look over the results. When its run on the OS drive, it logs an event in Application section that shows the same result text as the console prints. Are the results of the Disk Error Checking utility logged anywhere so I can review them? EDIT TO ADD: This was not the OS drive and was connected via USB. windows-xp chkdsk share|improve this question edited Aug 9 '10 at 21:26 asked Aug 9 '10 at 17:49 yhw42 2,01611727 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 7 down vote They are logged in event viewer.

As Moab points out, when a disk is checked at boot time by autochk.exe, an entry will be made in the Application Events Log as 'winlogon' with the results. 2) You can schedule

CHKDSK must sometimes be run at boot time. When done, its displayed messages disappear. I'll show you where to find those CHKDSK results again. //OK, so CHKDSK ran when my machine rebooted, and displayed some stuff. Problem is I have no idea what it displayed, since it then proceeded to reboot the machine windows xp when it was done. How do I get it to stop, pause or otherwise let me see what it did? It's not obvious, I can tell you that. For a recent article on CHKDSK, I carefully timed taking a few screen shots of CHKDSK as it was running in a virtual machine so I could capture the results. Besides not disk boot failure being useful to the average user, it turns out that was overkill. You don't need to go to those lengths to get CHKDSK's output. In fact, you can almost ignore what it displays on boot. You can get the results later, much more easily. CHKDSK on Boot As I mention in What does "chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process" mean?, CHKDSK needs exclusive access to the disk it's checking if it's been instructed to attempt fixes or repairs. If that disk is your Windows drive (C:), CHKDSK can't have exclusive access, because Windows is using that drive simply to run your system. The solution is to indicate that CHKDSK should run automatically before Windows runs, the next time you reboot your machine. When you restart, the CHKDSK is performed before Windows is loaded. Prior to Windows 8, the actual CHKDSK information is displayed as it progresses. In Windows 8 and later, the details are hidden behind a progress indicator. CHKDSK runs as it normally does, and when it completes, it reboots the syste
