chkdsk.exe

Dear NG:
Win XP SP2
Is there a log file that shows the results after running chkdsk.exe?
The only thing I've been able to find is the Winlogon Information that you
get in the Event Viewer.

Thanks,
Kevin

That's all you get. You can also;
chkdsk /r
from the recovery console command line. (/r implies /f and /p)

To start the Recovery Console, start the computer from the Windows XP
CD-Rom. At the "Welcome to Setup" screen. Press F10 or R to repair a Windows
XP installation, and then press C to use the Recovery Console. The Recovery
Console then prompts you for the administrator password. If you do not have
the correct password, Recovery Console does not allow access to the
computer. If an incorrect password is entered three times, the Recovery
Console quits and restarts the computer. Note If the registry is corrupted
or missing or no valid installations are found, the Recovery Console starts
in the root of the startup volume without requiring a password. You cannot
access any folders, but you can carry out commands such as chkdsk, fixboot,
and fixmbr for limited disk repairs. Once the password has been validated,
you have full access to the Recovery Console, but limited access to the hard
disk. You can only access the following folders on your computer: drive
root, %systemroot% or %windir%

Hello Kevin,

Thank you for posting here!

I noticed that you have posted the same question in our newsgroup; please
check my answer to your question, and if you need any further assistance on
this particular issue, please reply to me in that thread so I can follow up
with you.

For your convenience, I have included my reply as follows:
--------------------
For your request, I agree with Wesley's suggestion.

When Autochk runs against a volume at boot time it records its output to a
file called Bootex.log in the root of the volume being checked. The
Winlogon service then moves the contents of each Bootex.log file to the
Application Event log. One event log message for each volume checked is
recorded as follows:
Event ID: 1001
Source: Winlogon
Description: This includes file system type; drive letter or GUID, and
volume name or serial number to help determine what volume Chkdsk ran
against.
Also included is whether Chkdsk ran because a user scheduled it or because
the dirty bit was set.

The registry entries used by Autochk to determine which volumes get checked
at boot time are:
Hkey_local_machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\
BootExecute:REG_MULTI_SZ: autocheck autochk *

More information, please refer to the article:

Windows 2000

Hope the information helps!
