I just tried my autoexec suggestion, it didn't work.
So other than the event viewer, or temporarily putting the system drive
in another computer as a second drive to run chkdsk on, I believe your
best bet is going to be booting from a talking Windows PE disc, then
running chkdsk on your system drive.
If you need more information about doing this, let me know.
Cheers!

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.

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.
