Guest lorentdick@yahoo.com Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Hi, Does anyone know if there is any type of report I can look at after I run a disk check in XP via Disk Properties->Tools->Check Now... When the scan completes it just displays a message box "Scan complete". That's it (can you think of a more useless message Microsoft?) Please do not suggest Event Viewer, as there is nothing there Thanks in advance

Guest V Green Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Re: Is there a log file for disk check in XP? There's a summary in Event Viewer after CHKDSK runs. Can't remember which category - probably Application. <lorentdick@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:d744a758-abdf-499d-91a4-ec62d0180bf6@m45g2000hsb.googlegroups.com... > Hi, > > Does anyone know if there is any type of report I can look at after I > run a disk check in XP via > Disk Properties->Tools->Check Now... > > When the scan completes it just displays a message box "Scan > complete".

But this is not an answer to my question though, I already ran the scan and I want to see the report.

No errors were found so nothing was logged. If it found an error/s it would put an entry in the application log. -- Regards Mark Dormer
