Chkdsk Log File Location

Does anyone know the location AND exact name of the
Windows XP Home Chkdsk log file?

If one does not get created automatically (when executing
chkdsk c: /F), can I specify to pipe it to a file ? I
will be running this upon bootup , when I restart my
computer.

thanks,
Mike

You can find it in the event viewer, look at the Winlogon entry.

Just to clarify, winlogon shows up in the Application section of the event viewer. Start -> Run -> type "eventvwr.msc" (no quotes) -> ENTER. Click on Application and select the most recent winlogon entry.
