When you schedule a chkdsk /f [/r], Chkdsk writes an Application Event Log entry similar to:

   Event Type:     Information   Event Source:   Winlogon   Event ID:       1001   Computer:       Computer_Name   Description:    Checking file system on C:                   The type of the file system is NTFS.                   Volume label is System.   A disk check has been scheduled.   Windows will now check the disk.                            Cleaning up minor inconsistencies on the drive.   Cleaning up 153 unused index entries from index $SII of file 0x9.   Cleaning up 153 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9.   Cleaning up 153 unused security descriptors.   Windows has made corrections to the file system.
