drive properties - tools tab - 'check now'

1. does this run chkdsk.exe or scandisk.exe?

2. I ran this with only option 'scan for and attempt recovery of bad
sectors' selected, after a very long time it said it was done but gave no
other information as to problems encountered if any, or that everything was
ok... is there a log file somewhere I should check? I googled this and found
info about results going to the application log in event viewer but that log
showed nothing for me (no entries at all for this whole day so far, which I
find odd, maybe there is another issue here)?

1. chkdsk.exe

2. Check your VIEW in Event Viewer -
View - All Records
perhaps set for "filter" to only show "error"

Thanks for the reply Bobb,

so there *should* be something in the event viewer application log then?

I did check filters before and its set to show everything. Also, an
unrelated entry was made to application log since my original post so the
services which manage the log are working.

NO - if all OK, may be not there - just wanted to check to make sure
filters off.
