Windows 7: Sfc /scannow results - missing file (_isdel.exe)

Hey everyone,

I received the follwoing message after running sfc /scannow:

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

So I went ahead and opened the CBS file and searched for "cannot repair". This is what I found:

Can someone please explain how I can fix this problem?

I always ran CHKDSK, which returned no errors.



Thank you

Visit the following link;

SFC /SCANNOW : Run in Command Prompt at Boot

Run it at least 3 times.

If that fails the next step is generally a reinstall.
