The post suggested that the OP could run CHKDSK from the COMMAND PROMPT and
there are two switches that can be used by the autorun CHKDSK at boot-time
initiated by the two corresponding switches at the COMMAND PROMPT They are:
CHKDSK C: /F produces the autorun command AUTOCHK /P \??\C:
CHKDSK C: /R produces the autorun command AUTOCHK /R \??\C:
....you can use the /p and /r switches with chkdsk when run from Recovery
Console

Please tell us how you choose the command line switches that will be
used when Windows schedules a CHKDSK to be run on a restart.
You've found something that I don't think anyone else knows about.

Welp... it looks as if you missed the fact that one can NOT run CHKDSK
on the system disk from the Windows command prompt.

Yes it CAN without the /f switch and THAT was what the reply by 'R. McCarty'
was about. I simply backed him up when 'Pegasus' said it could not. Read
his rebuttal:-
....and so it is CHKDSK (Command Prompt) will give you exactly the same
report whether the /f switch is used or not. It will just give you the same
report time and time again because it won't be fixing any of the problems it
finds without specifying /f.

Welp... I think you missed the point that CHJDSK cannot be run from
the command prompt on the system drive.
No, the OP said he Can't read what it did and asked how he might go about
find such a way as to be able to read what it did.
This led to Lem's reply to "use Event Viewer..." why else would he have
given that advice.

The OP said "I can read what it did". This to me implies the /F or /R
switch. Without these switches chkdsk will only report things but it won't
"do" anything to the file system.
