I have a 2-year old computer and have never run scan disk. I did it this
afternoon for the first time and set it for scanning and fixing errors. I
used SAFE MODE. It had about 88% done on phase 5 and I left the room.
When I came back a short time later, the computer was back in regular mode.
Shouldn't I have received some kind of response as to whether there were any
errors or that it was complete?
 
Nope. By the way, ScanDisk died with ME. In Windows XP it's called Error
Checking, or simply chkdsk.

You don't want to see a response from chkdsk, because that means your
disk could have a problem. You want chkdsk to go about its business and
return to Windows.
 
Thanks Ted. I guess what really confused me is that computer returned to
regular windows -- I thought it would be in safe mode.
 
Unless you configure your startup otherwise, Windows automatically boots
into so-called normal mode.
 
If you wanted to see the results of the chkdsk or copy them you can open
Event Viewer under Administrative Tools in the Control Panel. Double click
the Application Log in the right pane and scroll down to find Winlogon
under the Source colume and click it.
