Please provide additional information about your system:What is your system make and model?What is your XP Version and Service Pack?Describe your current antivirus and anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc.Does the afflicted system have a working CD/DVD drive?Do you have a genuine bootable XP installation CD (this is not the same as any Recovery CDs that came with your system)?Are you running this disk checking because you have some problem of for practice? If you are having a problem, What do you see that you don't think you should be seeing? What do you not see that you think you should be seeing?When chkdsk runs automatically on a reboot either because XP thinks it needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you chose to do it yourself, the results are shown in the Event Viewer Application log. You need to look there for the chkdsk log and any problems after chkdsk has run. To see the Event Viewer logs, click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer.A shortcut to Event Viewer is to click Start, Run and in the box enter:%SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.mscClick OK to launch the Event Viewer.Look in the Application log for an event sourced by Winlogon, something like:Event Type: InformationEvent Source: WinlogonEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 1001Date: 8/4/2010Time: 11:25:57 AMDescription:Checking file system on C:The type of the file system is NTFS.One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency.
