Run as admin:

Oh... FFS, cheers!

"Could not start the repair service"? Eh?

Try running it in safe mode. Im guessing theres something like an antivirus program or something else in the background thats preventing the startup/repair. etc etc.

I got it now.

Run sfc without any command and you'll see syntax examples.

Blaeza · Jun 30, 2022

I just got to the logs file thinking it'll make a good read and was pleasantly surprised to find that I couldn't understand the gibberish in there. I am such a noob. My first time using power shell. Although I remembered how to change directories from school, lol.

Hi,
I run sfc/ scannow or sfc/ verifyonly using command prompt not power shell

But i add both to the right click context menu for easy access

I've been admin now, lol. Now I'm trying to partition a drive. I thought I knew about computers! I'm surprised I can turn one on now.... :banghead:

Hi,
Just use free minitool
This is the best version don't update when asked.
MiniTool Partition Free mbr2gpt 9.1 Filepuma.com

Blaeza · Jun 30, 2022

Ta very much, back in a minute...

Sorted, got me a partition! Now got to copy my boot drive and then start fucking about with memory timings.

Chomiq · Jun 30, 2022

You can partition a drive with built in Disk Management tools.

Blaeza · Jun 30, 2022

I did it with ThrashZone's program. Even I could understand it!

ThrashZone · Jun 30, 2022

Hi,
I wouldn't use power shell for disk alterations either
Command prompt once again but minitool is 1000000x easier.

Caveman friendly is why I use it too :laugh:

Ugg.

So I'm in Macrium Reflect, what do I do next? No messing about either, I'm highly trained!

Hi,
Look at your other thread
I posted an image to add the recovery option to boot menu.

Reflect asked you if you wanted to download the winpe so that is a Big Yes :cool:

Mindweaver · Jun 30, 2022

I would run the restore health first.

Code:

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

You can check the health, but usually I just skip this step and go straight to restorehealth and then run after the restore health has finished.

Code:

sfc /scannow

Here is just the check health command

Code:

dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

Blaeza · Jun 30, 2022

Other thread, GO!!!!

P.S. I've had WAY too much caffeine today.

You lot have big brains...

Umm...

ThrashZone · Jun 30, 2022

Hi,
Do not use power shell
Use command prompt as admin instead

One line at a time

Code:

sfc /scannow

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup


DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Blaeza · Jun 30, 2022

doing sfc /scannow

Didn't find any integrity violations.

erm

and Cleanup-Image is a one argument, why do you add spaces?
