How/Where to find Log/Report of CHKDSK/F Scan ??

by tobeach Jun 9, 2005 6:12AM PDT

Having just finished a Check Disk / Fix scan, I want to read/print/study a copy of the report generated.
Unfortunately, the report provided on screen lasts less than 5 seconds before vanishing and scan closes.
How can I freeze screen or better yet view the report in text format? Thanks in Advance ! Happy

Print Screen?

You could press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard, which copies a picture of the screen to the clipboard, and paste it into Paint (Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Paint).

However, I thought the report stayed until you dismissed it...
