Frank said:As far as I can tell, chkdsk does not have the ability to do a surface
scan; it only checks file system consistency, like the "Standard"
option of the old scandisk. I'm looking for the XP equivalent of the
"Thorough" option of scandisk.

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.
