XP Scandisk issue

[Hermskii]

I'm running Windows XP Pro. I have a single hard drive in the machine and I completely know how to run a chkdsk on it and go into the event viewer and see the results of scandisk whenever I run it.

Here is the tricky question. I have another drive that I want to start to use in a different computer. I want to test it first before I install an OS on it. I have slaved the drive in my main PC and can view it properly. I ran scandisk on it. I was not there at the end of scandisk so I did not see the results. It ran it while I was still in Windows but I walked away because it was taking so long. I got back and it said it was done. It showed no other results. Here is the question:

Where can I see the results of a scandisk I ran on a drive that was a slave and did not have to schedule to run the test. It ran the whole scandisk inside windows live environment.

Test this yourself if you have 2 drives in your PC. Open My Computer. Right click on your second drive. Select Properties, Tools, Under error-checking select Check Now, put checks in the 2 boxes they offer and click start. When it is done, tell me how your determined your results. They are not in the event viewer.

Thanks.

I figured it out:

Select Start
Select Run
Type in: chkdsk/r G:

In this case, my drive that needed to be checked was drive G:

The switch of /r means to not only fix bad sectors but repair bad blocks as well.

Windows XP?

Pro?!

Pro?!

Windows XP Professional version.
Home version is fine for most peeps.
Pro comes with a lot of baggage that is not needed for the most part on a home system.
BUT - with Hermskii, he probably DOES use the Pro's extras!!
