Default I never see the CHKDSK results
Per :
CHKDSK seems to run in a DOS prompt, and as soon as it finishes, it
closes that dos window and I never see the results of the check.

In addition to the advice in the other posts, one more way to see
results is to force them to a text file and, optionally, print the
text file.

That needs a .BAT file, and is my preferred method for my backup disks
because then I can file the report with the disk.

CHKDSK E: %OutPutFile%

ECHO . %OutputFile%
