How To Repair System File?
Jan 31, 2009
My Laptop is a Toshiba P200 satelite it came with a OEM Recory DVD is one of those DVD that you supose to run automatic and it then Wipe out everything and clean install it acording to Toshiba thats the best way of doing it.
But what if i just want to repair some System file I have a Corrupt Msdos when i acess it by running "Command" in start/run and Msdos open I can only navigate the drives by typing Cd c:/ cd... etc. But as soon i try to run something else lets say Type DIR in C:/ it Freezes as soon i press Enter (i see a cursor blinking up and down and dont let me do anything)
I am sure some Msdos files must be corrupted or missing and the solution is to restore those files repair vista. Do i realy have to Clean install Vista everytime because Toshiba havent included any repair disc only a Full clean installation DVD?......

SFc scannow is reporting that the system cannot repair some corrupt files. From reading the CBS log I found this entry:
CSI 0000001d [SR] Cannot verify component files for 3c52bd14fb076de75da14b4b67a96f83, Version = 6.0.6000.16720, pA PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_INTEL (0), Culture neutral, VersionScope = 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:b03f5f7f11d50a3a}, Type neutral, TypeName neutral, PublicKey neutral, manifest may be damaged (TRUE)

How do I get a file not repaired by System File Checker from a Vista DVD and put it back on the Vista tree? Cannot find the file on the DVD. I had rare problem with Vista (clean installed 3 months ago, after 28 months of the original installation working). My hard drive is probably nearing life end, but there are only a few bad sectors (and only because HP Pavilion notebooks are NOTORIOUS for overheating and reducing drive life).
System Restore did not work: it stopped for hours at the "initializing" phase at EVERY restore point, and this was in safe mode. Besides, I think system restore only puts back the registry at a set time point, and does nothing to fix damaged system files..............

I restart it and it doesn't want to start up and it just keeps trying to repair the startup. This then stopped, for the next couple of days all it was doing was going past the BIOS then a black screen with a blinking cursor would appear and it would never boot. Im pretty much sure that it came with Vista preinstalled on it so I dont have a vista CD, I tried the recovery Cd.
Now everytime i restart it it gives me options for safe mode etc I have picked them all and it loads fr a bit then the screen goes to a page with text saying reinstall windows and the registry is corrupt. Info: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing, or corrupt. Now I cant get into any of the safe modes at all and I dont have a vista CD as it was preinstalled.

I found the Inbox Repair Tool; however, when I tell it to scan the Outlook.pst (C:UsersMeAppDataLocalMicrosoftOutlook.pst) which is the path I was directed to, it says the file does not exist.

I figured out how to run a sfc /scannow from the command prompt which showed corrupted system files which it could not repair. It created a = CBS log file which I also managed to open. After that, I am totally at = sea. I do not understand anything in the log file. How do I effect = repairs? Do I do a repair install? If I do, will it disengage the = programs that I have installed as XP does?.....

I am currently running vista home premium 32 bit. Every time I put my computer in sleep mode for the night, the next morning it goes right into the system repair on startup mode. After startup, I notice that a lot of my downloads and files from days before have been lost. I want to know if there's a way to solve this problem.

Vista Home Prem x64 Raid 1 config, I had a failure of some sort that caused the system to fail to reboot. I booted the system from the Vista CD and performed a repair. Now, I am prompted to choose the Operating System in the in the Boot Manager. I now have 2 files, Windows Vista Home and Windows Vista (tm) Home Premium (recovered). If I choose the NON-recovered file the machine will not boot. If I choose the (recovered) file the machine boots and operates fine. I went to System maintenance and changed the default boot system to the (recovered) file. Now, when I reboot it still goes to the Boot Manager screen and waits a while before it finally boots to the (recovered) file. I would like to repair this machine to the way it used to work and not have the machine go thru the boot manager screen. I would also like to know how the (recovered) operating system got installed in the first place. How can I remove the defective one safely and return system to normal state?

I'm running Vista Business x86 and thinking of upgrading my single core CPU to a dual core CPU. Will this be transparent to the operating system or will a repair be necessary?

A while ago on my desktop Vista I was installing some updates. After I restarted the computer, it went straight to startup repair. I used system restore to restore to a point before I installed the updates. My computer worked fine. Thinking it hadn't been the updates that had caused the problem, I updated again but with the same results. This has also happned on other computers of mine. Ever since then, I have never installed a single update. I am wondering if this is a good idea or not.

It won't start in safe mode & system restore (6 points) has not enough free space to restore the disk (I was backing up files into a folder to copy to an external drive filling the drive when it crashed - doh) & it says the Recovery X the disk is not in the selected restore point. Is there a way of copying files to enable the system resore to work or some other things to try.

I partitioned a new hard drive and formatted it using my Windows XP Home Ed. SP2 Install CD. I then installed Win XP. I then installed Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit on the other partition. ( I have two partitions on a single drive, C: and D This has been working great for me for the last 5 months. Today I have a reason to perform a repair install on just the Windows XP partition. I have performed a Win XP repair install successfully in the past using the XP SP2 install CD but never when my system was set up as dual boot. If I perform a repair install using my WinXP install disk to repair the Windows XP installation, will this leave my Vista partition untouched? Will it at all interfere with the system's ability to multi boot? I'm not very concerned about not being able to boot up into Windows XP but it's extremely critical that my system's ability to boot up into Vista is not compromised.

I have a system that has FAT16 file system on it. I have that file system on that for some reason so I don’t need to upgrade on that….but recently I had some files deleted and now I need to get them back. They are important for my official use and hold great importance. I know that there is software for recovery but since I have a FAT16 file system I guess that all won’t work on that.

my friends laptop froze, he waited a bit to see if it would come back but it didnt. so he rebooted it...but it didnt come back on...we tried again and eventually it started but he cant access windows because it says that there is something wrong and that windows cannot repair it...
He isnt amazing with pc's so he gave it to me so I could have a go at gettin it back on track... so far nothin has changed same screen comes up sayin that windows cannot repair itself... says something about the file system32/drivers/kkmbyd.sys is corrupt. I tried to restore to an earlier point in time but it wont work cause it says that there are no earlier versions saved. They only idea that came into my head was to fully restore windows, but his hardrive has a lot of valuable data and im worried it will be lost

I really need to change a system file called 'hosts'. I've changed it many times before, but today I'm not allowed. I access the file, make a very small change, then try to save it just by leaving the path as is. Then I get a message that says "Cannot save file, check path.." But I haven't changed the path.

each time I boot my Vista PC the system is very slow to establish a connection to the network. How do I go about troubleshooting this problem? I have a SOHO network config. One Vista PC, one W2K3 server on the network. Verizon supplied FIOS router gets me on the internet. The network runs great once it is connected. When I click diagnose and repair on the network icon the result is a "cant repair the problem" answer.

Vista Home Premium 2. New system board and processor. Won't boot. An i7 950 and gigabyte board with high speed 1600 memory. Doing repair doesn't work. Reports something wron with system timings/speed etc. as well could be. Memory folks (OCR) ask me to run memtest400 (it passed all the vista diagnostics).
In install I go to command prompt and try to run mt400.exe. It says, "The system can not find the file." If I do dir e:mt400.exe it fins it just dandy. I tried copying it to a number of other places but get the same response. Even copied it to the loading directory under a number of folders. Now what? Is it impossible to run exe files in vista installer?

I can not find system file checker, after messing up my files in a partitioned desktop Dell XPS 420 . I want to do a restore to yesterday, but can't find system file checker first. I ran an advanced search and it gave me links that would not open. When I followed the directions for sfc to dos. I couldn't get in as administrator. (I am). Search also gave me links to windows 98 links from 2000 from my old machine. do system file checker and restore to yesterday.

I just have to ask this, since I think I've read somewhere that 64-bit windows is immune to viruses. Is this true? I mean also I read that this is the reason why Macintoshes haven't been plagued by this through the years (and that the Mac file system was somewhere between 32 and 64 bit) Anyone with lots of knowledge on the field?

I am running Vista Ultimate running under VMWare 2.0.2 on a MacPro 10.5.7. I had to recover my c: drive due to some VMWare corruption issues. We can now see the drive, but when I try to boot from it I get "Missing Operating System". If I boot from the Vista Ultimate CD to do a repair, it does not see the OS and so won't do a repair.
Running a command prompt chkdsk c: says "The type of the file system is RAW" and it fails. dir c: gtives "The volume does not contain a recognized file system". Diskpart list partition shows "Partition 1 Primary 40 GB 1024 KB". Filesystem shows "UDF Allocation Unit size 2048". I tried booting from the Norton SystemWorks CD for their disk utility, but evidently the CD is not bootable.

I just installed a new Hitachi HDD and restored my disc image to it. My original disk had three partitions, the pqservice partition, the active OS partition (C drive) and a data partition (D drive). But I only chose to restore the OS and the data partitions. Now when I view the new disk via disk management, the labeling of the active partition is unusual; there is no volume name listed nor file system, and the free space is shown as 100%. Also, the status shows an EISA configuration. However, under explorer properties for the drive, things look a bit different, with the label and system type correct. What is causing the discrepancy and how to remedy it?I just now also noticed that I no longer have 4gb of ram... I haven't removed anything, but only 2gb are showing in system properties and in the BIOS???

If you need to delete or overwrite a system file in Windows Vista, you'll quickly notice that you cannot delete system files, even as administrator. This is because Windows Vista's system files are owned by the TrustedInstaller service by default, and Windows File Protection will keep them from being overwritten. You need to take ownership of the files, and then assign yourself rights to delete or modify the file. For this, we'll use the command line.
Open an administrator command prompt by typing cmd into the start menu search box, and hit the Ctrl+Shift+Enter key combination. To take ownership of the file, you'll need to use the takeown command. Here's an example: takeown /f C:WindowsSystem32en-USwinload.exe.mui That will give you ownership of the file, but you still have no rights to delete it. Now you can run the cacls command to give yourself full control rights to the file: cacls C:WindowsSystem32en-USwinload.exe.mui /G geek:F Note that my username is geek, so you will substitute your username there. At this point, you should be able to delete the file. If you still can't do so, you may need to reboot into Safe Mode and try it again. For the filename in the example, I was able to overwrite it without safe mode, but your mileage may vary.

In many of the tweaks on this site I have directed you to delete or replace a system file. In Windows Vista this is not always as easy as it sounds since the system files are protected better by the file system than in XP. There are two steps that you need to do in order to be able to replace or delete a system file:First you need to take ownership of the file. Run takeown /f "path and file name" to take ownership from a command prompt.Next, you need to give your account full control permissions on the file. Run cacls "path and file name" /G <your username>:F to get full control from a command prompt....

Severl weeks ago, I got a warning that there was no more space on C:,my system partition. Properties showed 0 free space. I tracked down the problem to a file named mnc82DB.tmp, which was about 50GB. It was in the folder usersownerappdatalocal emp. I have no idea where it came from and Google has no entries if I search on that file name.
Trying to delete it fails, saying that it is open in another program.
It's very annoying sice if I try to print something I will lose if I reboot, it won't do
it (0 free space). Another weirdness is that if I try to type something into the Firefox Goggle engine, the letters are entered in reverse order.

I Have a DOS game 'Chips Challenge' and i want to run it on Vista x86. But, when i try to run it, it says "C:WindowsSystem32AUTOEXEC.NT. This Required system file is missing. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application." I try googling it and found program called 'DOSBox'. I installed it and follow the instruction to mount, etc. When i run CHIPS.EXE (the executable file for that game) on DOSBox, it says 'This Program Requires Microsoft Windows'.
