Is there a log file for disk check in XP?

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

there is a lot of
info on check disk,
chkdsk at microsoft.com
or other places like google
and wikipedia.

however, if you just want
to see a check disk report
you can click on start>run>
cmd

open the command window
and run a read only chkdsk
at the prompt.

it won't do any reconciling
but will exhibit the data for
your file system.

There's a summary in Event Viewer after CHKDSK runs.

Can't remember which category - probably Application.

V Green not only can you not remember, you cannot obviously read.

well I checked there believe me, and I haven't found any useful info
that's why I asked here

that's great, I could also buy a third party app or throw this piece
of Microsoft out of the window and get myself a real OS. But this is
not an answer to my question though, I already ran the scan and I want
to see the report.

There is no log in this case.
No errors were found so nothing was logged.

If it found an error/s it would put an entry in the application log.
