Can't seem to run sfc from PEboot cd

[bookie32]

Hi guys!

Can't start Windows normally or saftey mode:

 

I have tried to run sfc from the PEboot cd to repair a Windows 7 installation. I run diskpart to get the order of the drives.

 

On this Little EeePC there is no Windows system drive...

 

The drives are listed as follows:

volume 0 = F cdrom

volume 1=  D NTFs partition 100GB

Volume 2= C FAT32  partition 15GB

volume 3= E NTFS partition 117GB

 

So, I have tried:       sfc /scannow /offbootdir=d:\ /offwindir=d:\windows and get:

 

Windows Resource Protection Could Not start the repair service...bla, bla, bla

 

Is there a way to start this service from the PEboot cd?

 

If so - what are the commands?

 

Thanks!

Well a stock PE might not be able to do it. Have you tried using a Make_PE3 or one of ChrisR's projects?

Also look here -

Particularly here -

http://win7pe.winbuilder.net/

These are (basically) "LiveWin7" projects like (basically) "LiveXP" projects, built using WinBuilder.

I really can't remember what I did to fix this one. 

I do apologise for not making an effort to write what I did after the event...I am trying to improve on that...seem to be still forgetting some...
