Re: Is there a logged report after doing an error check on a hard driv

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Error Checking is chkdsk.exe.

For a look at the chkdsk log.

Open the Event Viewer...
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | Click OK |
Look in Application | Listed as Information |
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.]]

[[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.]]

[[This file states whether Chkdsk encountered any errors and, if so,
whether they were fixed.]]

Hello,
How are you?

Is there an report/log created when doing an erro checking on a hard
drive. I am refering to My Computer>C;\>properties>error checking. I
think that there has been bad sectors on my drive and that the drive is
ready to bite the big one. However the report after runnibg the program
is up for 2 seconds. Is this information recorded anywhere on the drive?
If not how do I get a report that will tell me if there are any bad
sectors that will stay on screen for more than 2 seconds?

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Paul Vakerling
