How do I review the results of check disk that is run on a D: (data) drive? They are not in Event Viewer / Windows Logs / Application.
Also, I found these check disk results that were evidently performed on my E: drive this morning (I did not even know that it ran). I believe my E: drive is my legacy 256 GB SSD and that my local (second) SSD with the active OS is my C: drive (at least that is what Windows calls them when I boot up into Windows on my second SSD, but when I boot into the legacy hard drive I think it swaps the letters and assigns C: to my E: drive).
How concerning are these results? Also, it appears the results at the end of the report are cut off when viewed in Event Viewer. I am providing the Stage 2 results below. Note that they end by stating "The down pointer of current index entry with length 0xa8," which is not even a complete sentence.
As background, my legacy SSD is a 256 GB SSD that came with the laptop. My second SSD is a 1 TB SSD from Crucial to which I restored a backup from my previous laptop. I would expect both of the SSDs not to have errors since they are new, but it appears there are errors below.

Re: Check disk results on SSDs
I just ran check disk on my local C: drive. I ran chkdsk c: /f. It took only about a minute to run, even though C: has about 150 GB of data on it. Did check disk run correct? Is the checking of errors on the volume bitmap reported below something to be concerned about?

Re: Check disk results on SSDs
The errors on your C drive are not important. They may be due to a sudden loss of power some time in the past that prevented a file system operation from finishing.
The errors on the D drive are more worrying, you have at least one corrupt file - you will probably never notice this, but I would keep an eye on that drive, maybe check it weekly for a while.

Re: Check disk results on SSDs
StuartR,
I did not post my check disk results for my D: drive. Did you see the question posted in my first question above:
How do I review the results of check disk that is run on a D: (data) drive? They are not in Event Viewer / Windows Logs / Application.
I posted the results of two check disks above. The first one is of my E: drive. I believe that is my legacy 256 GB hard drive. However, I am not sure. When I boot into my 1 TB SSD, Windows assigns my legacy 256 GB hard drive E:. However, when I boot into my legacy 256 GB SSD, I think Windows assigns that drive (the 256 GB SSD) the letter C:. So I am not sure which drive is being reported.
Where are you seeing that one of my files is corrupt above? Is it on the E: drive or C: drive?
Why did the check disk of my C: drive take only about a minute to run, even though it has about 150 GB of data on it? I ran the command chkdsk c: /f at an elevated command prompt.
It appears the check disk results reported in Event Viewer for the E: drive are cut off and incomplete. The report ends with “The down pointer of current index entry with length 0xa8.” How can I review the full results?
Is it safe to run chkdsk c: /r or chkdsk c: /b on a SSD?

Re: Check disk results on SSDs
Do not use chkdsk /R or /B on an SSD. These commands are intended to detect bad clusters, which are a feature of physical disk drives. SSDs work differently.
My comment about corrupt files was about your first post...

Re: Check disk results on SSDs
Thanks StuartR.
Does anyone know the answers to the other questions I posted above, namely:

Why did the check disk of my C: drive take only about a minute to run, even though it has about 150 GB of data on it? I ran the command chkdsk c: /f at an elevated command prompt.

Re: Check disk results on SSDs
If I issue the command chkdsk c: /f then it doesn't run the chkdsk immediately, it schedules it for the next reboot. Is this what you saw?
Command Prompt wrote: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.630]
(c) 2020 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>chkdsk c: /f
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

Re: Check disk results on SSDs
No; I am referring to running check disk on a disk other than the disk partition that holds the OS. I ran it while I was in C: and the check disk was performed on my D: (data) drive. I cannot find the results in Event Viewer. As I recall, the Command Prompt prompted me to dismount D: before I could run the check disk, which I did. Are the results recorded anywhere?

Re: Check disk results on SSDs
You could try running this from a CMD prompt (as administrator):
chkdsk d: > d:\log.txt
...then you can examine the results in the log.txt file.
chkdsk d: > d:\log.txt
...then you can examine the results in the log.txt file.

Re: Check disk results on SSDs
My understanding of CHKDSK output is that it logged only when CHKDSK is run at boot time. Otherwise, it is console output which may be captured as Leif posted.
Unfortunately, right now I do not have access to a system with more than one drive to test this.

Re: Check disk results on SSDs
JoeP:
To clarify, I am running a disk check of the D: partition while I am on the C: partition. Both partitions are on the same SSD. The C: partition holds my OS. The D: partition holds my data.
Leif:
Apparently, the results for the d: drive when run from an elevated Command Prompt do save in Event Viewer, but they are saved as “Chkdsk” in the Source column, not as “Wininit,” which is where my c: drive scans normally save.
I have copied the results of my d: drive scan disk. This is of a brand new Crucial.com SSD two weeks after I restored the image of the data drive of my previous laptop to it a couple of weeks ago. How concerned should I be of the multiple “Deleting corrupt attribute record (0x80, "")” results? Why would a new SSD have all of these errors?
I am only displaying part of the results because this Lounge's platform allows a maximum of 7500 characters and also because the log in Event Viewer is truncated, so I do not have all of the results in the log anyway.

Re: Check disk results on SSDs
You could get file system errors like this if Windows crashed, or was powered down, while it was in the middle of creating/modifying/deleting a file.

Re: Check disk results on SSDs
The different sources (wininit and chkdsk) are normal. Wininit is from boot time scan, Chkdsk is from a manual scan within WIndows.
