    sfc fix by dism cleanup attempt


    Thanks for the assis, This what I am getting when attempting to run, the suggested repair, I cannot do the next step in suggested forum and get ISO cause it was manufacturer installed, but I do however have the install cd, but don't how to mount and address the instruction from cmd prompt to look at the appropriate place/folder for it, the cd does not seem to have the same language as folders in downloaded iso that is being directed to find, hope that makes sense


    This is the following error message given:

    You are right, that command is for win8 and up only.
    The error 87 means the command isn't applicable to win7.

    If you enter "Dism /?" you will see the commands for Win7.
    You can go further in detail by entering "dism.exe /online /?" and so on...


    Try this command though :


    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Image:H:\so -> (is 'so' correct ?)



    if it still don't work, I must ask :
    Do you by any chance have 2 AV tools installed (f.e. Avast AND MS Security essentials) ?

    See tutorial here:


    You can extract the file somewhere handy:

    I cannot run chkdsk-iso.jpg

    You could try replacing the file using this software instead of mucking around with take ownership:

    I cannot run chkdsk-sfw.jpg

    SysMate - System File Walker Download

    The good thing about it is that it will backup the original before replacing it.

    However I'm not expert on autochk.exe and have no idea if simply replacing the version in system32 will work as there are versions of the file in other places.

    Could very well work if only the file itself is corrupted, but still if his system has further corruption,
    replacing only that file won't fix it completely, and errors would pop up again rather soon...

    I'd say try it for sure, but do check the logs for a while afterwards, even without noticable issues.
