Where is it?
I can't find it.
I just ran chkdsk, but I want to find the log.

Not sure if this will work: Click Start button > Type Administrative Tools in Search Box and hit Enter > Go to Event Viewer > Windows logs > Application > Click Date and Time. If you can remember the aproximate time where you ran chkdsk, you can norrow down your search.

Sorry, I'm not sure, I will check once I get to my Vista PC. I'm working on a laptop that has WinXP.
