Hello Greg,
Here you go mate. Fresh out of the tutorial oven.  Check Disk (chkdsk) - Read Event Viewer Log Hope this helps, Shawn |

Administrative tools - Event viewer - Windows logs - Application - Click on 'source' at the middle top to sort by ascending/ descending order. Locate 'wininit' and click on it to view.

Thanks guys. Was clicking on Applications and Services instead of Windows Logs in Event Viewer.
The Google result for chkdsk log Win7 at Tom's Hardware said Applications. Now you've filled it in for everyone. Very glad to know that 4 hour chkdsk on a 320gb external is clean since I've aborted it several times assuming it's dying. It's just slow, I guess. |

Mine shows up under Chkdsk instead of wininit.

I think when chkdsk runs at startup, its logged under wininit. While, when run inside windows, it may be getting logged as chkdsk. Or will it be different for the system drive and data drives? I see that Brink ran it on D: drive.

I just ran it on C: (Windows 7) drive, and got the same. I'll try from the command prompt to see what I get next.

CHKDSK and SFC Scan Results: What do they mean? Greetings, First off, I was noticing slowness in the boot time of my computer and wanted to get to the bottom of the issue so I found online that it was suggested to run a SFC scan.
