Does any one have a batch file or script all ready written and willing to share, for Win NT 4.0, that will allow me to run a chkdsk from task scheduler or the batch file and log the results if any errors were found or not. I know that the schedulerhas a view log under the Advanced menu that just gives the event code. I would like to hear any ideas or experience?s with this type of thing. I am new to batch files. Thank you

create a batch file calle it chkdisk.bat

put this in batch file

@echo off
chkdsk /f > c:\chkdisklog.txt

You don't have to use the /f option if you don't want to fix errors. What it will do is run chkdsk and append the onscreen data to a text file called chkdisklog.txt
