(problem solved.) SFC /scannow help
jraju:
Hi,
Gamez, If the problem persists, you have to run the windows readiness tool. It will fix most of the problems . you just run it and while run, it fixes the problem. You could run one more time the windows readiness tool. it will fix the problems and if not would be shown in the log file

I think you need a min of 20GB to do a repair install and at least 15% free to do a defrag.
When the HDD starts to get full that will also have an impact on performance as well, as a lack of free space will affect Virtual Memory.
Anyway, to perform an offboot sfc /scannow on Win 7 SP1 you need an install media that includes SP1.
Change the boot order by tapping F12 (usually) as you switch on and select the media you are using - ODD (disk) or USB - insert the media - press enter and press any key when prompted to boot from that media.
You'll be presented with an inverse screen with the top item of Windows Set up (EMS Enabled) highlighted - press enter and select Repair your Computer when the splash screen comes up.
When it finds the OS you want to repair, make a note of its location, although I'll give you the command to confirm that.
Change/confirm keyboard/currency etc. when prompted and navigate to the Recovery Environment.
Select Command Prompt from the Recovery Environment and enter bcdedit |find "osdevice"
Using whichever partition letter that gives, enter (assuming c )
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows
Enter exit when done, remove the install media then Restart.

jraju@ windows readiness tool had fixed nothing !
Boggin@ that’s what i get when i want to do a Defrag !

How did the offboot sfc /scannow go ?
There's a couple of things you can try to free up some space.
Press the Windows key and type disk cleanup then right click on Disk Cleanup and select Run as administrator then follow the prompts - the default items it will delete will be sufficient if it finds obsolete updates to remove.
The other thing is if you don't use Hibernate, you can turn it off - this freed ~6GB on mine even though I didn't need the space.
Run a command prompt as an admin and enter powercfg -h off and then see how much your free space has increased.
You can also run Disk Cleanup in Extended mode where you could delete old volume shadow copies that tend to accrue.
This article will show you how. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/76383-disk-cleanup-extended.html
