Using chkdsk in Recovery Console

Every time I run chkdsk the first time in the Recovery Console it always
reports it found and fixed one or more problems on each of my partitions.
Running chkdsk a second time reports no errors. But, rebooting into
Recovery Console and running chkdsk again, it reports it found and fixed one
or more problem.

Any idea of what is going on?

Thanks

Without knowing what switches you used with chkdsk and seeing details on
what errors were fixed no one can answer. Check Winlogon entries in
Event Viewer for chkdsk results.

Is there a way to look at event log info on a disk that's removed from
a machine that doesn't boot if it's mounted as a second disk in a good
machine?
 
this is "normal"; the "errors" it fixes are simply clean-ups of unused
entries in the various meta-data tables. Normally these entries are
marked as "free" and reused, but the chkdsk /p command in RC will delete
the free entries and compact the ntfs-management and the metadata tables.
the next reboot into xp will invariably create new "holes". it's normal.

don't worry about it.
