Hello,

Tweaking Window Repair v2.8.5 Win 7 Pro v6.1 64-bit seems to just go thru the same unending cycle of initially showing no disc errors, then showing errors after reboot, then clearing them, then showing them again, back and forth endlessly.  I have repeated the exact same steps below, with two different drives, and I wind up going thru the same cycle that never ultimately fixes.   It is doubtful that I have two bad drives with the same odd, off-&-on errors. 

I install, and format a new system drive. 

Install Win7 Pro from original install dvd. 

Power reset, run Windows Repair.

Malware scan is clean. 

Check Disc 1 shows no errors

File Check shows errors.  Reboot.

Now, Check Disc 1 DOES show errors (?).   Run Check Disc 2.  Windows disk check shows no errors (0 bad files).  Reboot.

Check Disc 1 shows no errors for 2nd time.  But File Check continues to show errors.

Run Start Repairs.  Reboot. 

Check Disc 1 shows disc errors for 2nd time (?).   Run Check Disc 2 again.  Windows disk check shows no errors.   Reboot.

Check Disc 1 shows no errors for 3rd time.   

Run File Check again, no errors.  Should all be good now.  Reboot.   

But now Check Disk 1 finds errors again for 4th time (?!).  Run Check Disc 2, reboot. 

Check Disc 1 shows no errors again for 4th time.   File Check shows no errors.  Reboot. 

Check Disc 1 shows disc errors yet again, for 5th time. 

So I try this all over again with a different drive, from scratch, and I get the same cycle of "errors" and "no errors" that never end. 

But, if I ignore all this, and proceed to use Auto Updates to install essential updates, then the system starts 'blue screen' crashing often.   And I am unable to install SP1 at all- it either hangs, errors, or acts like it installed, but never actually does (after install, SP 1 fails to show in System Info, and IE continues to refuse to update until SP1 is installed).   

I cant figure out what is going on.   I am unable to get Win 7 to run properly after updates, and SP1 refuses to install, on two different drives.  MS support is so far clueless also.   

Thanx.
