As far as I can tell, there's no problems showing in the SFC results.
I have seen this type of false-positive elsewhere, and if I remember right it related more to permissions/ownership than anything else - I rather suspect that it wouldn't happen in a normal-mode SFC scan.
DonnaB, I should mention that drive letters are usually different in the recovery environment than in the OS.
I forgot to include screenshot (WP_20150811_23_00_51_Pro.jpg). Here you go.
I downloaded the SeaTools for DOS and Windows and run test . I find only one (1) drive. It did not find any error.
I am attaching the screen shot of result.
I have not made a system image to recover from in the past.
I have added additional software/tools after getting this laptop. How do I back it up & sync after restore/reinstall?
I do not have CD to reinstall. How do I go about then?
Thanks for guidance.
You need to run the long test. The short test will pass many times when there is a problem with the drive.
Thanks . I am running Long Test. It looks like, it is going to take awhile. I will post the screen shot as it done.
I just started a laptop for this test. It says temperature is above 70 degrees in sea tools dialog. Is it a matter of concern?
Do you need to run any other test with Sea tools after finishing Long test?
I ran CHKDSK /F /X for C, D, E yesterday. All resluted to "Windows has checked the file system and found no problems."
As I reported earlier, I ran d:\windows sfc/scannow ===> I got
Is there a way to override this system repair pending stuff?Code:Beginning system scan. This process will take some time There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart windows and run it again.
It did not create Minidump file in d:\windows
Will Minidump will tell us different story outside of CBS.log?
Awaiting for your insight .
A minidump may tell us more. They don't always, but many times do. But, if you are not creating minidumps, that isn't an option. As far as I am aware, there is no way to override the system repair pending, other than the laptop to boot. If Seatools is saying the hard drive is 70C, then that is way too hot, but there is nothing that can be done other than shut it down. Make sure the vents are not blocked and put it on a laptop cooler if you have one.
Thanks again. I did reboot many times & tried SFC /SCANNOW, but system repair pending was not going away.
Where does it pick up this condition from? Is it from registry?
Is there a mechanism/tool to clear this system repair pending?
So, you do not want to run anymore test using sea tools after finishing Long Test?
No more tests will be necessary with seatools. It picked this up from the repairs you have done. it did not boot into the operating system, unless you haven't told me.
