Causes of the error "Failed to transfer logged messages to the event log"

In event viewer, the event log service stores the information about application, security & system event. Event log helps you analyze and diagnose the source of system problems. CHKDSK often gives the error 'failed to transfer logged messages to the event log' when it is not able to record either a file error in application log, invalid & valid logon attempts in security log, or failure of a driver in system log. One of the most common reason for this error is having bad sectors in Windows partition. If there is a corruption in the disk then it is more likely to get this error every time you run CHKDSK because data cannot be written to the corrupted clusters. Another reason is when you run Check Disk utility from an installation disk, since log data cannot be copied to the installation disk, so you had better run CHKDSK within Windows operating system.
