• SFC (System File Checker) and using a DVD

  I got Windows Home Media 2005 on DVD. I had to reinstall the OS. I want to run SFC (System File Checker) to ensure the OS files are not corrupt from time to time. SFC always calls for a CD, does not recognize my DVD player. How can I check my OS with a DVD files?

  Why you think you have corrupted files from time to time?  You specify that you encounter a system problem, but didn't say exactly what it is!  I have hundreds of things file corrupted in my notes.

  When the system does not start successfully, exactly what is happening and what are you doing in this regard?

  Do you receive messages like that or something different?

  Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

  A chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console will usually straighten this out right.

  According to what you see, you can also receive a CD bootable XP Recovery Console you can do (no XP media required).

  Since the XP Recovery Console, you can run the chkdsk command, generally replace all corrupted files since there are copies more already on your HARD drive in another place and other things.  It depends on what problems you see with this kind of corruption...

  I will include the instructions below.

  I never tried to slipstream XP Home - and may not try because I think I let someone borrow my CD XP Home and he has never had back.

  Here are the integrated installation instructions that usually a link:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/slipstreaming-Windows-XP-to-create-bootable-CD/

  It's another good forum for slipstreaming questions (I hang there too).

  A few Google searches (for something like xp slipstream) get your other similar instructions.

  Once you get it built, if you have enough space HARD drive somewhere, you can just copy it on a HARD drive and then tell XP to find files from the HDD instead of the CD (it's more convenient and faster).

  Here are the instructions to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

• Scan SFC (System File Checker) freezes at 13%

  Hi guys, something's wrong with my computer. I've been looking around these discussions and decided that I had to rune sfc.exe/scannow in a high cmd but it freezes at 13%. There are split on what to do next, so I was hoping someone could help me (thinking about running an InPlace upgrade). Is it the right choice?

  Hello

  Why you ran SFC (System File Checker)?

  Start the computer in safe mode and check if SFC works.

  Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

  Start your computer in SafeMode (Windows 7)

• System File Checker detects files from oembios that cannot be repaired

  I ran the System File Checker on my computer Dell Dimension, and he found files that cannot be repaired: oembios.dat, oembios.sig and oembios.bin. The computer has Windows XP with Service Pack 3 installed and was purchased new in December 2002. The original XP installation disk that I've ever used, a SP1 is installed.

  Event Viewer gave this message for one of these files after run the System File Checker. "The oembios.sig of file protected system could not be restored to its original, valid version. "The file version of the bad file is 0.0.0.1 the specific error code is 0x800b0100 [no signature was present in the subject.]."

  Everything works well, and these corrupted files seem to have no effect on the operation of the computer. I even ran a Seagate hard drive diagnostic test, and it passed. These files, compressed copies that are in c:\i386 and on the installation disc, be repaired and properly placed in their place in c:\Windows\System32?

  Thank you, Robert. I tried your suggested solutions.

  First, I tried expanding oembios.si_ of the CD on the e drive (CD player) after the reboot. But I got this message from the command prompt: "cannot open the input e:oembios.si_ file."

  Second, I tried to develop oembios.si_ of the c drive, where I know it exists in c:\i386. Yet once again, I got the same message that the input file cannot be opened.

  This has proved to be a sticky problem. Fortunately, my computer still works well. It is just that I do not have corrupt files hidden.

• Damaged or missing Windows system files. Having bad to fix.

  Hello

  Some of my windows system files have been corrupted or are lost, and everything I tried didn't work.

  I think the problem started when I used the registry cleaner to CCleaner, my windows installer has stopped working and trying to fix it, I think I may have made worse.

  Here are some of the things I tried

  1 SFC scannow - found corrupt files but is unable to repair

  2. point - fails and the error message of restoration

  3 using the windows CD option Update - freezes and will not end

  4. start from CD repair - fail and the error message

  Honestly, I don't know where from here, I started to back up my files in the case that I have to do a clean install, but I'd rather not do it if I can avoid it.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you
