Hi Mike!
That depends on which drive you are scanning. If it's any drive other
than the system drive, you can redirect the output to a file from the
command line, like this.
chkdsk d: /f>results.txt
(the /f parameter tells check disk to fix any errors it finds)
If you are trying to scan the system drive, it gets trickier because
chkdsk can't be run while Windows is running because it requires
exclusive access to the hard drive.
You could try creating an autoexec.bat file in your system drive's root
directory with the appropriate chkdsk command in it
The downside of this approach is that while chkdsk is running, there
won't be any screen reader support, so if the system stops for any
reason, you'll need sighted help to determine why.
For this reason, if I needed to do this, I'd more than likely boot into
a talking Windows PE and use that to do the chkdsk on the system drive.

Hi All,
Running Windows 7 & Jaws 16. Is there any easier way to view scan disk
results in Windows 7? I guess what I'm asking is, is there a command string
that can be typed into the Run dialogue, or in command prompt that would
post the results as a text file? All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much, & hope everyone had the very happiest of New Years.
Take care.
Mike
