See the subject line Carl, and you GOT IT. That's exactly what I was looking for; the results of running Scandisk (or chkdsk) and they are all there. Thanks a bunch. (I mentioned in a post I ran chkdsk as well, but had the same problem, no results shown). -Clint
God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carl Mercer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Clint- I don't know if this is what you are looking for but this came from another board. Hope it helps. Carl "Right-click 'My Computer', select 'Manage', 'Event Viewer', then the 'Application' log look for an information entry entitled 'Winlogon' around the time you ran chkdsk. Double click it to see the information. You may see Winlogon entries with different reasons. " Another possibility I found: "It's called Chkdsk in NT based systems. Type that in your Help and Support and you'll get all the info on use." I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable to know if this applies to XP Pro. Perhaps you will know.

Still searching and I came across this which I knew, and is of no help: "Win XP users, Microsoft jettisoned the venerable ScanDisk for you guys. You can either use CHKDSK, which is even older, or use Microsoft's Error Checking feature. Access this feature by doing the following: In Windows Explorer, right-click the drive you want to check, and select Properties from the context menu. Now select the Tools tab. Under Error Checking, click "Check Now." If you want the scan to check the disk sectors or attempt to make repairs, select those options and click Start. Close Windows Explorer when you're done." All I can find is HOW to do it, which of course anyone knows. Nothing on how to see the results! I tried chkdsk and it closes before I can read the results! On another subject, every time I try and defrag my C: partition EVEN IN SAFE MODE it always says "some files could not be defragmented" or something like that. I open the "view report" button and nothing is there for "files that did not defragment"! So, what's not being defragmented?? - -Clint ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
