Hi,
For some reason the Event Viewer doesn't show the winlogon event 1001 info.and there is no file name Bootex.log in the
C:\ root directory.
I just did a clean install with the HP Recovery Disks today and still don't have it.This was one reason I did it the
other was to try an get the Recovery Console didn't get that either.
HP Recovery system SUCKS!
Can you please tell me if when you do the Chkdsk /f do you get three or four options that it checks
1 File verify something (scan 1 of 4 scans)
2 index verify (scan 2 of 4 scans)
3 security verify (scan 3 of 4 scans)
4 file data verify? (scan 4 of 4 scans)
OR
1 File verify something (scan 1 of 3 scans)
2 index verify (scan 2 of 3 scans)
3 security verify (scan 3 of 3 scans)
I would really like to do the /F instead of doing the /R but don't know if the /F is working correctly.

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/chkdsk.mspx?mfr=true
Understanding what CHKDSK does
CHKDSK's activity is divided into three major passes, during which CHKDSK
examines all the metadata on the volume, and an optional fourth pass.
Phase 1: Checking files
During its first pass, CHKDSK displays a message that tells you that CHKDSK
is verifying files and also displays the percent of verification that is
completed, counting from 0 to 100 percent. During this phase, CHKDSK
examines each file record segment in the volume's master file table (MFT).
Phase 2: Checking indexes
During its second pass, CHKDSK displays a message that tells you that CHKDSK
is verifying indexes and again displays the percent completed, counting from
0 to 100 percent. During this phase, CHKDSK examines each of the indexes on
the volume.
Phase 3: Checking security descriptors
During its third pass, CHKDSK displays a message that tells you that CHKDSK
is verifying security descriptors and, for the third time, displays "percent
completed," counting from 0 to 100 percent. During this phase, CHKDSK
examines each security descriptor that is associated with files or
directories that are on the volume.
Phase 4: Checking sectors
If the /R switch is in effect, CHKDSK runs a fourth pass to look for bad
sectors in the volume's free space. CHKDSK attempts to read every sector on
the volume to confirm that the sector is usable. Even without the /R switch,
CHKDSK always reads sectors that are associated with metadata. Sectors that
are associated with user data are read during earlier phases of CHKDSK if
the /R switch is specified.

This is a sample of one of my Event ID 1001 Winlogon.
Event Type: Information
Event Source: Winlogon
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1001
Date: 12/4/2004
Time: 8:01:27 AM
User: N/A
Computer: MYPENTIUM450
Description:
Checking file system on C:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is Local Disk.
Cleaning up minor inconsistencies on the drive.
Cleaning up 10 unused index entries from index $SII of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 10 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 10 unused security descriptors.
9952235 KB total disk space.
6020596 KB in 40720 files.
15248 KB in 2053 indexes.
0 KB in bad sectors.
102811 KB in use by the system.
51824 KB occupied by the log file.
3813580 KB available on disk.
4096 bytes in each allocation unit.
2488058 total allocation units on disk.
953395 allocation units available on disk.
That is the same exact info as what was in the bootex.log from that time. I
know because I recovered the deleted bootex.log and compared it to the Event
Viewer entry.
Bootex.log is from BootExecute, here...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
Value Name: BootExecute
and whatever autocheck value exists or existed at the time autochk.exe ran.
autocheck autochk /r \??\C: for example.
You can create a chkdsk log.
From: Doug Knox MS-MVP...
This will create a chkdsk log.
Paste this into a command prompt...
CHKDSK C: /F > C:\CHKDISKLOG.TXT
Hit your Enter key.
Click YES on the popup to reboot.
After CHKDSK has run paste this in Start | Run...
C:\CHKDISKLOG.TXT
Click OK.
You get THREE. The fourth pass is OPTIONAL. "If the /R switch is in
effect, CHKDSK runs a fourth pass to look for bad sectors in the volume's
free space."
Phase 1: Checking files
Phase 2: Checking indexes
Phase 3: Checking security descriptors

Microsoft Windows XP - Chkdsk
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/chkdsk.mspx?mfr=true
Understanding what CHKDSK does
CHKDSK's activity is divided into three major passes, during which CHKDSK
examines all the metadata on the volume, and an optional fourth pass.
Phase 1: Checking files
During its first pass, CHKDSK displays a message that tells you that CHKDSK
is verifying files and also displays the percent of verification that is
completed, counting from 0 to 100 percent. During this phase, CHKDSK
examines each file record segment in the volume's master file table (MFT).
Phase 2: Checking indexes
During its second pass, CHKDSK displays a message that tells you that CHKDSK
is verifying indexes and again displays the percent completed, counting from
0 to 100 percent. During this phase, CHKDSK examines each of the indexes on
the volume.
Phase 3: Checking security descriptors
During its third pass, CHKDSK displays a message that tells you that CHKDSK
is verifying security descriptors and, for the third time, displays "percent
completed," counting from 0 to 100 percent. During this phase, CHKDSK
examines each security descriptor that is associated with files or
directories that are on the volume.
Phase 4: Checking sectors
If the /R switch is in effect, CHKDSK runs a fourth pass to look for bad
sectors in the volume's free space. CHKDSK attempts to read every sector on
the volume to confirm that the sector is usable. Even without the /R switch,
CHKDSK always reads sectors that are associated with metadata. Sectors that
are associated with user data are read during earlier phases of CHKDSK if
the /R switch is specified.

[[In the above error message, "minor inconsistencies" refers to a state
where redundant information stored in different places is "out of synch."
This is a natural and expected condition whenever there are open files on
the volume that have undergone modification. The redundant information is
not brought into synchronization until the files are closed. Typically, this
error message occurs when CHKDSK is run against the volume containing
Windows NT system files (including active user profiles and the pagefile).
WORKAROUND
You can usually safely ignore this error message even if the message appears
without there being open files, because it is only the redundant information
that is out of synchronization. The only side effect you may see as a result
of this message is an incorrect reading of free disk space or something

This is a natural and expected condition whenever there are open files on
the volume that have undergone modification. The redundant information is
not brought into synchronization until the files are closed. Typically,
this error message occurs when CHKDSK is run against the volume
containing Windows NT system files (including active user profiles and
the pagefile).
WORKAROUND
You can usually safely ignore this error message even if the message
appears without there being open files, because it is only the redundant
information that is out of synchronization. The only side effect you may
see as a result of this message is an incorrect reading of free disk
space or something similar. ]]

[[When you delete a file or folder with permissions that you've set by
hand rather than allowed to be automatically inherited from its parent,
the ACL (Access Control List, the security descriptor) isn't deleted,
but cached. Running CHKDSK against these "dead" items cleans up the ACLs
that are no longer in use and frees up space. ]]

[[This problem occurs because if Chkdsk is run against an NTFS volume,
Chkdsk.exe may report that security descriptors are in the database that

Hi RScotti,
There seems to be a difference between STAGE and PHASE and I do not know
what the difference is.
I found it! ;-) You have to use the info from two MS sources, listed
below.
"When you run Chkdsk on NTFS volumes, the Chkdsk process consists of three
major stages, and optional fourth and fifth stages."
Stages 4 and 5 are both part of Phase 4.
Phase 1: Checking files
Stage 1: Chkdsk verifies each file record segment in the master file table
Chkdsk is verifying files
Phase 2: Checking indexes
Stage 2: Chkdsk checks the directories in the volume
Chkdsk is verifying indexes
Phase 3: Checking security descriptors
Stage 3: Chkdsk verifies the security descriptors for each volume
Chkdsk is verifying security
Phase 4: Checking sectors
Stages 4 and 5 (optional stages): Chkdsk reads every sector on the volume to
confirm stability
Chkdsk is verifying file data
Chkdsk is verifying free space
