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

You could dig the bootex.log out of your hard drive if it hasn't been
overwritten, but whatever is in the Event Viewer is everything that was in
the bootex.log.

This will create a chkdsk log.

Paste this into a command prompt...

CHKDSK C: /F > C:\CHKDISKLOG.TXT

Hit your Enter key.

Click YES on the popup to reboot.

After CHKDSK has run paste this in Start | Run...

C:\CHKDISKLOG.TXT

Click OK.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Hello Kevin,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

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 *
