I sometimes run scandisk on my Windows XP Home Edition.
I never get to see the results of the scandisk check.
I have searched my drive and cannot find it so I assume
that it has a different file name than older Windows
versions.
Does anyone know where the scandisk log default directory
is located?
Thanks
After running chkdsk (Windows XP uses chkdsk rather than Scandisk) open
Event Viewer (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer) and look
for a Winlogon entry within the Application log. If errors were found on
your drive this event will have been logged. Data held will be similar to
the following:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: Winlogon
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1001
