SFC Cannot Repair Files

[Joshua Ong]

Hi guys,

I have run sfc three times now and I get the message that sfc has found corrupt files but was unable to repair them. Could someone point out to me what to do?

My CBS details file is attached.

Thanks in advance

It maybe happening if there is some problem if the operating software is not genuine

 

[Joshua Ong]

Nope, mine is genuine. When I first got my laptop, I did do a cloning process to change to an SSD. Could that be the cause? However, this was done a year and a half ago and it is only recently that I have started to have these problems.

try to do a sysprep

"C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe"

OObe..generalize .. reboot

 

[Joshua Ong]

Firstly, how long is sysprep supposed to take? Mine has been running for 25 minutes now.
Second, I'm quite a noob at this but I was just curious what this sysprep does and how it helps my situation?

You could do a system restore.

I had the same problem quite a while back, you can guess what I did.

 

[Joshua Ong]

OK. I'm kinda starting to freak out now. I shut down while the sysprep was still running and when I restarted, I decided to do a system restore. Now after completing the system restore, there are 2 error messages when I start up the computer (something to do with a memory error) and my desktop has no background, it is completely black. My programs I pinned to the taskbar are also just blank icons now. I can't even start firefox because it says the program is miising or unaccessible. Can someone please help?

 

[AddRAM]

That was one really quick restore.

 

[Joshua Ong]

Now I can't even access my important documents. Can someone please help? I desperately need some.

Why don't you backup ur files.. and do a reinstall?

 

[nooruddin76]

if you have done system restore.. you might have deleted some installed programs.. (this depends on how much back you restored with system restore).. you can always undo the System restore.. and btw.. sysprep generally takes 5 mins or so for me.. and it does remove the custom pinned icons..but you can easily add them back again

I used a backup from a week ago. I looked and my files are actually still here on my computer. It is just that every shortcut on explorer is not working. I have to manually search through the directory. The memory error code I get is 0x80096001.

 

[nooruddin76]

well try and do this.. copy all the shortcuts on the desktop to some other folder(as many as you can..casue some you may not be allowed to)..and then delete the ones on the desktop..and again copy back the shorcuts that you saved in the other folder

 

[Joshua Ong]

I think the problem is worse than that. When I type stuff into the start menu, there aren't even any results. I have to click through the files to open up what I want. BTW, I do have an installation USB that I made a few days ago to try to fix the sfc scannow problem, but it can't be used because windows says that it is not compatible with my system. I have checked my system and it says Home Premium SP1 and that is exactly the ISO that I downloaded but it still doesn't work.

 

[nooruddin76]

First backup everything.. do anything later

 

[Joshua Ong]

I've done that. Could you tell me what to do now please?

 

[nooruddin76]

You can try to install it again..put the usb drive that you have which contains windows 7..and reboot from it .. and instal windows 7 again

Searching for 0x80096001 i found this on MSDN

Have you checked Task Manager to see how much memory you are using?
Do you have a Page File, and what size is it?

 

[Joshua Ong]

It's alright guys. I just reinstalled everything. It took me around 7 hours to get everything installed and updated but yeah, luckily I'm on holiday now. Thanks for the help.
