Question about sfc /scannow on Recovery Disk
Hello. For a while I have kept a copy of the Windows XP, Vista, and 7 recovery disks on a live USB. However, when booting from one and attempting to use the sfc /scannow command, it says that a repair is pending and to reboot and run sfc again.
However, there isn't one running, so the command can never work.
Why doesn't it work, and is it because it's being done from a repair disk?
I want to know because these disks take up several hundred megabytes on my USB and i want to free up space if they can't be used to fix Windows.
