hehe lol - Aventis went from not wanting to send me the active adapters to having someone come day and install a new motherboard.  Long story, but in short AMD said it was the motherboard that was damaged by the W7000 card that got loose during shipment as it was not put in properly.  I thinks someone lost theri job.  But, the Technical Manager, Robert Martin,  stood up for me and resolved the adapter issue and is getting a man down here  Tuesday to install the new MB.  So, we shall see.

Howdy - So I imagine my system is still in some kind of jeopardy, but I do not know exactly what kind.  How do I check?

A software that I use for work was updated and it depends on .NET aos after install there was a message to check that windows has all the latest .NET update.

I am not going to do any updates until I fix the OS but I just ran windows update to see what was there.  It seems that those 4 updates that were a problem are no on the search list.  I have attached an image.

I wonder why they are gone?

OK, Boggin.  machine is back.  It has a brand new ADM W7000 graphics card, but only 7 of 8 monitors work.  Using same cables/monitors --- it is not them as I switched them to make sure.  Somehow the Active Adapter for these AMD cards is not tuned to the adapters I purchased years ago (according to AMD  tech guy).  So, i am askomg Aventis to get me current adapters.  I understand that each card is supposed to come with 2 of these.  I will wait to fix this.  More to come.

Yes, first time with Aventis.  Unfortunately, I thought I renewed the Dell but I renewed another Dell machine so the service on the T7500 lapsed and they would not renew it when I realized this in checking with them when I was moving from NY to FL.  So, I choose Aventis based on approval / authiorization by Dell.  They seem to be OK except for sending the machine back to the wrong address and not anchoring the video card (LOL).  I am keeping toes crossed on this here.

Howdy Boggin,

Thanks for your concern.  I had Dell service for years in the past, but this service is with Aventis Systems out of Atlanta Ga.  Sorry if I confused you about that.

Well, the system has not yet come back.  I spoke with them on Friday (13th) and they said that motherboad has all the correct voltages and is OK.  They still have not gotten the 2 AMD W7000 display cards to work together.  When the machine left, one worked fine.  I am hoping to hear from them today or tomorrow that they replaced the bad W7000.  I will keep you informed.

Boggin satnow - Further delay due to power outage and a hardware problem unrelated to the OS.  Service guy broke the video card while taking it out.  Will keep you posted.  Sorry.

Yes, only 1 drive now.  Still sfc errors.  Does running it more help at all?  It seems to me that each sfc gets finished sooner and sooner.  But, you think i should stop sfc-ing and just do the (possible) nasty reinstall?

So, I am proceeding to keep running the scf scannow.

2 Boservations:

1 - When I first ran it earlier in the day I saw many corrupt files which looked ancient.  Then, I renumbered the dunsil drive that was left in the machine when the Dell guy left years ago.  So, I decided to just go in and disconnect it as maybe the SCF was looking at it to find those corrupt files.  I did so and the first Scf that I ran after that there were no longer any more corrupt file messages.

So, that seems to be good, but the first scf run after that sill found errors that could not be corrected.  I am going to keep running it for up to x times.  hehe

But, that is not all.  After removing the dunsil J drive, there was only 1 drive left.  So, somehow, the 2nd Dell guy that came go confused and took out my second RAID drive instead of the dunsil J drive.  He was younger than the first guy as the first guy got tied up with something on the NYSE downtown.  So, all these years I thought I was RAID protect but I was not.  LOL

But, I will fix this once, I have a fixed system by writing a AOMEI backup and reinitializing two RAID drives then restoring.  Until recently I have not had any problem with AOMEI --- better than Paragon and Acronis which I paid for but were not supported.

Boggin, you mentioned Marcum Reflex; I remember trying that like 5+ years ago and I could not get a full restore like AOMEI gave me.  Maybe different now.  Dunno.

2- The first time I ran the SCF while the J drive was there, the Windows drive was E.  After removing the J dunsil the Windows drive was D.

But when the scf finished it said the CBS log file was on C:

Should I try scf using the C drive and the off and dir?

Boggin, I am looking at the link.  Yes I did method 1 just the way it was laid out.   Maybe i should do the sfc scannow several times.  Maybe each time it fixes a little.  How many time do you think would be the limit to try that? 3, 6, 9?  It seems like the cleaner and less dangerous way to fix W7.

Sorry, Boggin.  I confused you by not being complete.  Originally, I did not know to run this from the existing windows, but I did some reading and figured that out.  I already did all you said and it kept saying things like can not continue as some updates needed and you must run again: "The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, complete each task, and then restart the upgrade to continue.   Windows needs to be restarted so necessary changes to system files can be made before continuing."

Finally, I just ran it again, and again, I got more or less the same messages.  I figured that may the third time is the charm and still got the same messages.  (BTW each run takes about a half hour.) 

I am tempted at the beginning to not take the fork that says get latest updates.  But, with that fork there is warning about being vulnerable to virus, etc.  But, then I figured that I did something way wrong and stopped before taking that fork.  I saved the screens if you want to look at them.

Howdy Boggin.  Well I did what you said booted up from CD, found system on E: drive and three runs of scannow with the offboot and windows parameters gave: "There are errors but could not fix them." 

So, Now I have to repair using  the cd.  I am confused about how to do that.

Boggin - I am trying all the fixes today.  BTW, if you find a system backup that you really like and costs money, tell me and I will buy you a license.  With stuff like that, I like to know there is someone I can call for hlep and I can get updates.  well, that is my way of working.  Anyway, let me know and I will purchase it for you.

satrow - Yes, AOMEI says Pro in the about, but I have not put in any license info.  I looked at every place in the menu settings, etc.  there is no place to put license info.  Just weird.

Hi Boggin,

Overnight it finished completion and now I have a full image backup; I will proceed with the repair on the weekend as I need my computer during the day for work.  Will keep you informed.

Still_Game:  I will take a look at Casper doe to the recent challenges with AOMEI which has been reliable up to now --- but it so SLOW.  Weird part of AOMEI is that I purchased two licenses but there is no place to enter the license key and they have not answered several inquiries on that; this give me worries about continuing using AOMEI .  Thanks.

Sorry Boggin.  9:24 EST here and backup finished -  Now it is 54% through verification.  BTW, what do you use for system backup.  I tried them all (Acronis, Paragon, etc) and (until now) AOMEI Backerupper is the best.  Will keep you posted.

The next step I remember is to boot from the disc you helped me recreate and run the scan now from that while on the c:\ prompt.  Correct?

Howdy Bloggin,

Sorry about the confusion about the USB.  What I mean to say was that the link I got:
https://wudt.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest did not work.

Secondly, I tried to substitute a 2 TB USB drive and use the MS backup, but the USB connect did not work and I lost track of things that I tried to fix it.

But, LOL, AOMEI is still going after 30 hours using what you said disabling all but MS services.  I noticed my machine so much fast --- I may keep it this way for a while after backup is done. 

And now, only 8 hours to go.  Then I will try the next step you suggested which I forgot but will go back in the log and lookup.  Thanks, again, for your help Bloggin.

Howdy Bloggin,

Thanks for your continued interest.  I have lost track of it, but it was from the MS site.  I tried to look for it but could not find it again.  However, I tried AEOMI BU again and it froze whole system after 9 hours at 17% on Friday.  Then again on Saturday --- same thing same 17%.

I do not understand as I have used AOMEI successfully on this machine many times in the past.  Las week I wrote them about the 4xxx message I received twice after reinstall and reboot and they gave me a link to use which uninsulated and re-installed BU.

One thing about them is very weird.  I have two paid licenses for two computers using A BU but there is NO place to enter the license codes; and, I looked and looked for somewhere to do that.  I asked Megan at A whey that is or where to enter the code so I am actually using the pro version, but, somehow, she just does understand the questions (which I clearly asked in several emails).

So, I do not know what to do except this is what I will try after i get back from church today:  Run who crashed and zip the A BU logs up.  Would you like to see them or anything else?  Thanks, again, for your help and concern.

Thanks, Bloggin, but MS has trouble with going to my NAS.  I tried a stand alone USB but system not seeing the stand alone.  Got some advice from AOMEI about deleting some XML files so I will try AOMEI again.  Back later.  Thanks again.

Thanks, Boggin, for your help.  OK Backerupper has been running for about 10 hours and is at about the 25% mark.  That error happened within a hour last time, so I think we are clear of that.  the reboot and reinstall did it.

I will wait and watch and keep you informed of my next steps.

BTW, how is windows create image called.  I never knew there was one.

Thanks again for your help.
