Hi all,,having run sfc /scannow as part of periodic maintenence on my laptop i just got the
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log message

Windows 7 starter (group policy installed)_msi u135dx netbook - no install disk but system is imaged twice.
Just got this,second hand but barely used,problem here appeared after updating the computer (130 pending) also installed some gadgets - updated fine but now i get the file checker message.

Can anyone advise? thanks

CBS.log shows:

When the winsxs folder gets corrupt normally the only way to fix it is with a repair install. This is one of the reason why I hate the winsxs folder.

So instead of doing afresh install and having to reinstall everything you can do a repair install instead and keep all the files and programs.

First you need a Windows 7 with SP1 disc, you can grab an image of that here

Then just follow this guide :-)

Shane,thamks for your reply and for the links,was going in that direction. :smiley:
Presumably if i use the iso on win 7 starter i need to edit it,ie remove the ei.cfg file so i get version
options on install?
Thanks.

I want to the link for Windows 7 SP1 iso. The question is what is the difference between Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 7 SP1 Media Refresh? Thanks This would be a good thing to have if I need to ever to a repair.

Dont think theres a diference,Shane will probably confirm...as long as we use the same win version should be easy,or edit the ei.cfg file,ie remove it which will give version options on install.
