    CHKDSK runs automatically every time it senses a problem with the hard drive when the computer boots up. I can view what it fixes with the Event Viewer. The problem is Event Viewer seems to record only the last time CHKDSK executes the program. I want to see all the logs in the past 6 months. Is it possible to see the log?

    It usually outputs to text file called BOOTEX. Try searching for BOOTEX.txt on the target drive.
