Hi David & Gene, Yes, I found similar steps when doing a search for where to find CHKDSK results, & that is why I was wondering if there was a way to have the results show as a text file via a command string after CHKDSK has run its course & the computer has been rebooted. Take care.

Hi Mike! I found this after a quick google search for "scandisk logs", I hope it helps. Go to Start > Run and type: eventvwr.msc /s , and hit enter. When Event Viewer opens, click on "Application", then scroll down to "Winlogon" and double-click on it. This is the log created after running Checkdisk. I tried this but couldn't find winlogon. hth Cheers! On 1/4/2017 9:58 AM, Gene Warner wrote: > Hi Mike! > That depends on which drive you are scanning.
