when I type findstr /c:"[SR]" F:\CBS.log I get that this is not a recognized internal or external command

try to use:

Code:

find /i  "[SR]"  F:\CBS.LOG > F:\sfcdetails.txt

file not found

So F:\CBS.LOG is not there?

Did you do
set WINDOWS_TRACING_LOGFILE=F:\CBS.log
prior to running sfc/scannow?

To be honest I read on internet that WINDOWS_TRACING_LOGFILE is only working on VISTA. I thought maybe old article so also working on win7. Not many references to that setting. Don't know how to log it to a file. But I can't imagine win7 doesn't boot at all due to this. All is fine!! Except sfc/scannow (which is probably so for a long time).

I hate startup repair doesn't tell what is wrong!

Answer #11

Do you have a win7 install dvd or win7 system repair disc?
