I have been running CHKDSK on the XP PC that I have been having problems
with.  When I run CHKDSK C:, without arguements, it runs a quick check.
If I run CHKDSK C: /P, it runs a fairly quick check, and reports that
it has found at least one error on the system, but does not report what
type of error.
 
If I run CHKDSK C: /R, it runs quite a while, but still doesn't report
what type of errors that it is finding (I am assuming it is, because
/P did find at least one), or what it is doing to fix them.
 
Back in the day, DOS CHKDSK would report what type of problems it
was finding (lost chains, etc.) and would prompt for some user
interaction when it went to fix them.  SCANDISK, which came with
later versions of DOS and the Win9x family, also told you what it was
doing.
 
Is there any way to know what XP CHKDSK (based on NT and not
DOS, I know) is doing?  Does it write to a log file?
 
Note that CHKDSK, without arguements, is not reporting the disk as "dirty,"
although /P has found, and still finds, at least one error.  Don't really
know what that means, but I thought it might help with my question. ;-)
