    Event Viewer to include the HDD SN in event logging


    Hi!

    Ima use event viewer as a logsource, but sometimes it will happen that I will need to switch the HDD with other laptops (drivers will be included so I can run the HDD on every laptop). But the goal is that even though i switch laptop i want to see the HDD SN in the event logs.

    How can i make a view in event viewer to also show the HDD SN in every log? creating a XML or is it not possible at all and need to have a 3rd party software?

    Thx a lot

    :)

    there are no chkdsk logs in event viewer

    i have run a few chkdsk commands on my hdd and on a few usb sticks, however i can't find any log in the event viewer regarding the chkdsk output.

    the commands complete successfully (as i see in the CMD window), it's only the logs that never appear in the event viewer.
