sfc problem
Vista Home Premium 64-bit
I have run sfc /scannow a number of times, and it always reports that there were corrupted files, but that it was unable to fix everything and points me to CBS.log for details. The problem with CBS.log is that it is HUGE, and I'm not sure what I should be looking for. I finally figured out how to delete CBS.log just prior to running sfc, and have a CBS.log that contains only the information from a single sfc scan. Sfc has never prompted me to insert my install DVD so I'm at a loss as to what I should be looking for. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Tom -- remove .invalid to reply by email |

Tom http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228 This URL should point you in the direction Tom. Thanks. This at least has given me some information, but I'm not sure what to do about it. There are a number of entries that say sfc could not repair a file because the copy in the store is also corrupted, and there are others that say the reason sfc cannot repair the file is because of a hash mismatch. These entries are quite long and contain information that means nothing to me. Some time ago I ran sfc /scannow from the installation DVD in repair mode with system prompt, but got the same sort of message from sfc - i.e., it couldn't repair some files and pointed me to CBS.log. Does this mean that my only recourse is to do a complete reinstall of the OS? I should point out that I'm not having any problems with the computer, and if it weren't for sfc, I wouldn't think anything is wrong. Thanks for your help. I hope you can continue to steer me in a useful direction. Tom -- remove .invalid to reply by email |

Tom On Vista and Win7, you don't need the installation media because all the versions are already installed...and that collection grows with each update. I had some issues recently and used SFC to check... It found a number of corrupted files that it couldn't repair. My question is: why cannot SFC be smart enough to grab copies of the files from the Mother Ship? Or, is there a tool that will do that? |
