Winodws 7 Home Premium N won't boot, Process1_Initialization_failed

Problem Signature 7: CorruptFile. We have to determine which one.

Windows drive is called D in recovery environment in your case. Very normal.. no problem.
Try Command Prompt at Startup
From that command prompt:

Code:

 
md d:\problem
set WINDOWS_TRACING_LOGFILE=D:\problem\CBS.log
sfc/scannow  /offbootdir=d:\   /offwindir=d:\windows
find "[SR]" D:\problem\CBS.log > D:\problem\sfcdetails.txt

post results. Preferable a camshot!

copy D:\problem\sfcdetails.txt to usb stick, connect to healthy computer and post.

sfc scannow doesn't seem to want to work, it says a check is scheduled.

System Disk = \Device\Harddisk1
Windows directory = D:\Windows
AutoChk Run = 0
Number of Root causes = 1

So windows drive is called D now. No problem. Post a camshot as asked!

Have to go,... back later. Maybe tomorrow

Oh...

also the Windows Drive is D because of the BootCD I'm using I think.

also I've posted all the relevant info. i don't think a camshot would help and i don't feel like going through the same thing again.

how do i use sfc when it tells me a scan is scheduled? would i be able to use it from a live cd?

I can't clear the system repair is pending which requires rebot to complete when i try sfc/scannow.

I used a command to remove pending actions, and cleared the xmls in winsxs. Interestingly, the repair finds no more errors, but I still can't run sfc. What's the problem? I'll try a reboot.

Still bluescreening. Going to try running it a few more times.

Pretty much out of options now. What if I copy files over from my laptop into the Windows directory and see what works?

Do #11 and you know which files

i already told you that sfc doesn't work. it says that a scan is scheduled. i've tried everything possible and nothing seems to work.
