    Is there a way to view the results of a disc check?


    After my laptop took a tumble, I decided to perform a disc check, taking the time to scan for bad sectors and all whatnot.
    Of course, this process took several hours, and I'm not going to babysit the computer the whole time. And when its done it just boots into windows as per normal.
    But I'm kinda curious how the scan went. Is there any way I can see the results of the scan, apart from watching the scan the whole time, and reading what the screen says for the half a second between when it finishes the scan and when windows starts up?

    If you know how you can also copy ChkDsk logs and save them as text files:

    However you can see exactly the same information using the Event Viewer method.
