scan disk log

section31 · 11-11-2004, 08:09 AM

Hi, this is going to sound soooo stupid...but where does the scandisk log go...file and directory?

**greffov** · 11-11-2004, 10:49 AM

I think somewhere like C:\scandisk.log

try looking around in C:\, D:\, etc.

I searched...didn't pick up anything. and of course i went to the options to show hidden and system files.

Anyone else?

Hiya section31

Just so we're clear on this, Exactly what OS are you running there and how are you executing the scandisk command? From a dos prompt? Bootable floppy?

Using xp.
well i've tried it both ways, cmd prompt and through the gui. But I was wondering where I can get the log of the verbose output.

To tell you the truth I remember looking at the log a long time ago, I just don't remember where its at.

doing it from the cmd prompt just gives you this.

You could try the search option, search for .log

well did you find anything
i didnt.

**greffov** · 11-13-2004, 04:20 AM

are you sure you saved the log?

section31 · 11-13-2004, 09:22 AM

how do i save the log, I always assumed it does it automatically...how else are you supposed to find out if there were errors or not.

**greffov** · 11-14-2004, 05:18 AM

maybe you should check the system logs.

Look for it somewhere in the administrative tools in configuration panel.
