Can not get a chkdsk log in Events Viewer I can not get a log saved in Events/Windows Logs/Applications.
Have run chkdsk/f from Administrator CMD prompt...chkdsk runs at reboot...but no log is created in Events Viewer as it always had been previously ?
Any ideas on why and/or where the reboot chkdsk/f logs are ?

If the chkdsk is run on a reboot, as it would for a C drive, the results should be under a “wininit” listing in the source column, rather than under chkdsk. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;

Thanks..but that's my problem...I've run chkdsk/f from the admin cmd prompt dozens of times in the past...but now I am not getting any "wininit" entry as I always generated previously ??
I cleared the logs previous to running chkdsk/f...so the jpg is all that was generated after last reboot chkdsk/f

TiminAz Ok...here's whats up...
Chkdsk/f is not running...I get a flash message that some software had affected chkdsk/f
But...so far....I'm unable to correct the errors...
Can I run chkdsk or some disk service from the install/repair dvd to repair/correct what ever is causing chkdsk/f to fail at normal cmd reboot for chkdsk/f

I can't recall seeing this issue before, so I have few ideas.
Have you run sfc /scannow to see if your system files are complete and uncorruped?
Will any other form of chkdsk run?? Without the /f switch?
Do you have any other disk utilities installed?
When did chkdsk /f last run properly and can you recall any system changes since that date?
Have you considered a system restore to a date when chkdsk /f was known to run properly? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;

Well it was a struggle but I'm back to chkdsk /f running at reboot and event log creating the wininit logs
Tried a number of restore points but some failed and the 2 that 'worked' didn't solve the issue
So...I restored image by image going backward...and found the 9/24 image restored worked fine.
Had to bring everything up to date but now all is well and event viewer is logging the chkdsk after chkdsk/f or chkdsk /r as entered into CMD prompt and runs at reboot !
