I just verified that it does not produce the latest chkdsk results. I don't know enough about the powershell to correct it. The methods here http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/96938-check-disk-chkdsk-read-event-viewer-log.html both work to show all chkdsk results. Depending on how often you run the command you will have to scroll to find the latest result. I used option 2 and it listed my results from newest to oldest which is fine for me.

And for me this corrected version of my original command gives me just the most recent but I think I would use the command from the sevenforums because it will give run dates and you can be sure what you are looking at.
