Re: Is there a log file for disk check in XP?
You can also run CHKDSK manually from a Command Prompt window. Use

CHKDSK X: >> C:\chkdsk.log

Where X is the drive letter to test. This will create a log file on the root
directory of C:, so you'll need to have write access to the root directory.
If you don't, then you'll need to point the log file to a directory you do
have access to.
