SFC Scannow issues.

[sethm1]

First off, can one run a SFC on a win 7 64 bit home prem with the main drive being an SSD ?

Over the weekend ran the SFC (as thought I had a task Schedule problem - but do not).
The SFC 100% completes but with this:
"Windows resource protection found corrupt files but unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.log..."

The is 500 pages.

any input/suggestions ?

Thx.

SFC is a System File Checker. It checks for the correct version of System files. An SSD is just another drive to SFC.

I would strongly suggest that you do a offline virus scan:

Then try this:

Thx will try the Repair link you provided as have already ran the same off line scan (clean).

Well no luck with the Repair disk.

Start Up repair found nothing to repair.
Mem Diag - also nothing.
The cmd prompt with sfc /scannonw /offbootdir .... same error as just runinng the sfc /scannow.

Are you able to zip the CBS.log file? if it is too big, use mediafire.com

 

[sethm1]

yes - and just created a zip file.

Good luck & thanks!

found 2 items - not sure what the Starting TrustedInstaller initialization is but I have notice that last few days when I boot the PC, and when reaches the desktop I see a very small window (almost 1/2 inch square) at the bottom center of my screen with an AMD reference. Its gone in flash so not sure fully what it is.

So now that I found these 2, now what? Do I delete them from the log file?

thx

Try running a chkdsk /f
If that doesn't fix it then the only thing that I can think of is to run a repair/install :https://www.w7forums.com/repair-install-t1204.html

Sorry that I can't be of more help.

Not that I have faith in chkdsk ...
So with the repair process and by choosing Upgrade - how much will I loose?
Will I have to re-install M/S Office and any non M/S programs?

Except for time, I have no problem with re-installing programs and all my phots, documents, etc are triple backed up (including Carbonite).

To be honest with you, I don't know. I take a lot of measures to try and prevent problems. Due to many problems in the past with Win 3.11 to Win XP.
Additionally in the corporate env. we push a new image back on the PC.
Any way there are these articles:

Sorry that I cannot be more help.

Going back to the log file, now that I see the 2 log entries, what do I do now?
