How to restore/repair Windows files without an installation DVD?
I've used the excellent tutorial on this site to run sfc /scannow and have identified a number (9) of corrupt system files:
iscsicpl.dll
msdart.dll
filemgmt.dll
Windows Hardware Remove.wav
Windows Hardware Insert.wav
Windows Notify.wav
AuthFWGP.dll
ieframe.dll.mui
mscorsec.dll
My problem now is how to repair/restore these files. My PC came with Windows pre-installed so I don't have an installation DVD.
I do have 3 recovery DVD's which I created shortly after purchase. Can I use these?
Otherwise I see that I have several copies of these files in the following folders:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
C:\Windows\winsxs\
What are these and can I use them to replace the corrupted versions?
I also have a back-up copy of my C-disk on another drive. I made this copy earlier this year, and assuming the files on the backup are OK can I not simply replace the corrupt files with the copies in the back-up?
