Winodws 7 Home Premium N won't boot, Process1_Initialization_failed

[Kaktussoft]

i already told you that sfc doesn't work. it says that a scan is scheduled. i've tried everything possible and nothing seems to work.

Never seen that.. what's exact message?

I message that is possible is: "There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete."
But that's not the case?

Same problem as this -

Force SFC to Run in Windows 7

(of course it doesn't crash on a particular driver)

Please confirm message tells you something like "repair in progress" please.
So nothing about "scan is scheduled".

 

[Kaktussoft]

DISM  /image:D:\  /cleanup-image  /revertpendingactions

Once this is done you should see some messaging that says:
Reverting pending actions from the image.... The operation completed. Any revert of pending actions will be attempted after reboot.
Reboot your machine and you will now see a new splash screen that says "Reverting pending actions" with a progress indicator

 

[Destroid]

Tried that. Still getting the same message as the one in the thread I listed. Don't see a repair progress bar. Just going to backup my win dir and overwrite it now.

Did command in #24 finish in 1 second or did it run many seconds? Command was successfull?

 

[Kaktussoft]

Please do #11 now

 

[Destroid]

Also for some reason I can't backup the windows directory. It says the disk structure is corrupted and unreadable but scandisc returns no issues.

 

[Destroid]

Command in 24 did nothing. Also when you say reboot - into what? Back into recovery console, or boot up windows regularly? I think i've tried both.

 

[Destroid]

tried copying a bunch of files over from my windows laptop. still getting the same error. i might try rebuilding the bootcache thing after this idk. it feels like everything's pointless now.

where could the problem files be? would it be worth trying to swap out the user profile with the one from my laptop?

 

[Kaktussoft]

What's your definition of "nothing"?

 

[Destroid]

It says the operation is a success, but when I reboot nothing happens. I don't get any progress indicator and no matter how many times I restart I can't run sfc. Sometime else is blocking it.

 

[Kaktussoft]

sfc/scannow  /offbootdir=d:\   /offwindir=d:\windows

Post EXACT output, preferable a camshot

 

[Destroid]

First I did this:

Then I did this:

Then I rebotted, and I was back to the first image again. It did nothing. There was no progress bar on reboot.

Okay, found some backups of system files. Booting now but that's all its doing. Black screen, HDD loading. Also I have 6 gigs more in my win directory than I need, is there any quick way to remove files addedin the last few.days?

 

[Kaktussoft]

attr  D:\Windows\winsxs\pending.xml

File is really not on D?

Don't know exactly what you did. So don't know how to revert.

[Destroid]

well basically i'm stuck with a black screen and a hell of a lot of loading

I don't know what you did. I don't exactly know the state of the computer now. I think you just copied files from one machine to another, without knowing why.

Without the sfc scan (which fails to run .... I know) it's almost impossible to know which files are corrupt! Without knowing what's wrong .... it's impossible to fix it.
