CHKDSK

[rogeepete]

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.

Look for Event 1001 from source Winlogon in the Event Viewer's

Application log. To open the Event Viewer enter eventvwr.msc in the

Start menu Run box. Double click on the event to open it.

IIRC, the output is stored in the Application log.



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,

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!
