Hello,
I recently scanned a 1tb harddisk for bad sectors.
The check completed but did not show me any dialog box other than a simple "Scan completed"
I checked in:
1. Event Viewer > Systems for logs but found none related to the HD.
2. Event Viewer > Applications to view the WinLogon log files but it seems it only shows logs of scans done during the boot process.
So, basically i did this...
1. I plugged in the new hard disk
2. Booted up my PC normally
3. My Computer > (Right-Click) HD > Properties > Tools > (Error-Checking) Check Now
3. Started scandisk on the 1tb harddisk with the options:
__a. "Automatically fix system errors"
__b. "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors"
4. Scandisk completed but did not show any dialog box
5. Tried to check event viewer for logs
6. Posted here for alternate solutions
So, where can i find the log file?
It should be something as simple as:
Thanks,
am on Windows XP SP3
EDIT: I realize there are no errors but was just wondering where these logs files get stored.
