Is There A CHKDSK Report?

Bill Artman · Nov 17, 2014

I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on 3 PC's. After I run CHKDSK on my drives I would like to know if there were any problems found or fixed. Is there a report available that gives this kind of information?

I always choose "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" and I click both "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors".

Thanks, Bill

This is from Tom'sHardware:

I am using Windows 7, Pro (64-bit) and found the chkdsk logs in:

Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application

Sort by 'Source' and look for 'Chkdsk' as the source. The Event Viewer will list each scan. Click on the desired scan to view both system-event information http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png and scan results in the preview pane; if you don't see a preview pane, you can turn it on in the 'View' menu or simply double-click the log entry to open it in a separate window.

You can save it as a text file by clicking the 'Save Selected Events...' action button in the action panel. Then, give the text file a name and use the 'Save as type:' menu to choose 'Text (tab-delimited) (*.txt)'

Then click 'Save'.
