Vista - Where is chkdsk log file in Vista Home Premium??

07-09-2008

I've looked all over Event Viewer and haven't found it yet. If chkdsk runs
at boot time, where is the log stored?

Under "Computer", right-click on the disc you wish to check, then select properties. Then select the "Tools", and then hit the "check now" button.

Hello Ed Y,
Please follow this : --

Control Panel > classic view > Admin Tools > Event Viewer > (prompt) > left panel, click the pointer in front of Windows Logs > under the above, click Application > middle column, scroll to find the list that says Chkdsk ( depending on how long you did the last chkdsk, it could take a while to scroll to the list ), left click on Chkdsk > right panel, under Event Chkdsk, click Event Properties > a new window showing you the log you want. Just scroll up and down to view.
That's it. Please let me know if you got it.
See screenhot for illustration.

Thanks for the info. I did find it following your directions but it was
listed under Wininit not Chkdsk with an event ID of 1001. I'm using Home
Premium by the way.
