    There's 21 of these at 10am yesterday;
    The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:.
    Then two similar of these, at 21.11 tonight;
    {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\??\Volume{0cb5b047-2391-11e2-9347-806e6f6e6963}\System Volume Information\SPP\SppCbsHiveStore\{cd42efe1-f6f1-427c-b004-033192c625a4}{2EFBD7E3-7A30-4F92-BCE9-D847199483A1}' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost.

    OK - it turns out that the manifest problem is due to a registry error as well

    That set of filesystem errors is possibly the result/cause of the entries in the CBS log - it matches the number of registry errors there.

    I'll have to play with the COMPONENTS file directly and see if I can get it to work.

    If you can upload it I'll start playing - but as I say please disallow Windows Updates in the meantime (I don't think they have a hope of working anyhow, but...)

    We obviously crossed in the post. :)
    I've got the file - now to find the errors and correct them!

    Heh indeed, thanks. I think I've already turned off windows updates but will double check.

    OK - first attempt.
    There's one I know I haven't fixed - with any luck I've got most of the others :)

    I've uploaded a file SJXcomp.zip to my Skydrive at Noel's SkyDrive
    Please download and save it - extract the contained file (COMPONENTS) to your desktop

    Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\config folder.
    Rename the existing COMPONENTS file to COMPONENTSOLD
    Now move the COMPONENTS file from your desktop to the ..\config folder

    Then open an Elevated Command Prompt and run the following commands...
    ICACLS C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS /inheritance:e

    If you now run
    ICACLS C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS
    it should show "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" and Administrators as having (I)(F) rights - if not, then apply the rights through Explorer, or using /GRANT <id>:(F) for each

    then reboot, and run another CheckSUR report.

    post the results.

    (I'll be in bed by then!)

    No problem :)

    The results are pretty good!
    we've gone from
    Code:
     Found 8 errors
      CSI Could Not Open file Total count: 1
      CSI Manifest and S256H Do Not Match Total count: 1
      CSI Corrupt Component Keyform Total count: 4
      CSI Corrupt Identity Total count: 1
      CSI Located Replacement: Invalid (S256H) Total count: 9
      CSI Replacement File: CreateFile Failed Total count: 9
      CSI Missing Winning Component Key Total count: 1
    to
    Code:
     Found 2 errors
      CSI Manifest and S256H Do Not Match Total count: 1
      CSI Located Replacement: Invalid (S256H) Total count: 9
      CSI Missing Winning Component Key Total count: 1
    I *think* the reason that it effectively ignores the 9 (w).... errors is that they are attempt to pull the data from backups in the VSS/SystemRestore system.

    Please repeat the exercise of uploading the COMPONENTS file
    Please also run an SFC /SCANNOW and post the new CBS.log file - it should have some data in it that I can use to check against the registry.

    Unfortunately someone has turned the computer off while I was working on it, but I got the COMPONENTS off in time.
