On my 64bit Win 7 system I have two partitions:
C: (with the "core" Win7 system)
D: (with almost all other stuff)
When I start the following command:
chkdsk D: /F /V /R /X >C:\chkdskout.log
everything works fine.
However when I enter the opposite command
chkdsk C: /F /V /R /X >D:\chkdskout.log
then at first the system is shutdown+restarted+chkdsk performed
BUT the logfile is NOT written.
I guess it is because the partially booted Win7 system at chkdsk time has no access to the partition D:
Is there a workaround for this?
The chkdsk output can be viewed at the screen. I want to have it in logfile as well.

write "chkdsk" output at boot time to logfile on other partition?

The Chkdsk is not being executed by your command - Windows is scheduling for the next boot using it's own way of writing the command.
But the chkdsk output is in the event viewer logs and can be copy/pasted or merely viewed.
