I just did chkdsk/scandisk of each of my drives and each of their partitions. 've been having an issue where from time to time, my hard drive light would start blinking about once a second, syncing up with quick stalls of my computer. These were not critical stalls, more annoying. When I was watching a video off my computer, for example, every second or so, the video would stall for an instant (though the sound stayed steady). I also noticed if I did consistent circles with my mouse I could see it pause for an instant every couple of seconds or so. However, after 20-30 seconds of this, it would go away. I attributed this as a possibility of bad sectors.
For some of the scandisks, I had to restart the computer so that it would do it before Windows loaded. Took a long time for a 100 gig partition, so I wasn't in the room to see the results. When checkdisks take place before Windows boots, is there a log file somewhere where I can see if there were any bad sectors detected, and if they were repaired?
