The > just means that it's waiting for you to enter a command. What
you need to do from the C:\> prompt is:

cd Logs\CBS
(you should see C:\Logs\CBS>)
cbs.log

OK, but I got a message which says "Access Is Denied"

Run cmd.exe as Administrator.
In the window type
notepad C:\Windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log
Hit return, and wait for a very large file to be loaded!

If you are looking for SFC errors type the following

findstr /c:"[SR] Cannot" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log |more

 

[Nisko]

You need to take ownership of the file.

Ok, I did that successfully. Now I want to change the file back to the
permissions it used to have. Googling didn't help me. How do I do
that?

Thanks.

This is a shortcut to what I asked - but it works for me. Now I have
to figure out how to re-establish the permissions the file used to
have.

The default permissions for CBS on my machine show three groups or user
names:- SYSTEM, LOCAL SERVICE, Administrators.
Each group has the same permissions, that is, Read, Write, and Special
Permissions.

I assume that you simply added your name to the list of users, but left the
permissions alone.

Yes, that helps a lot. I looked up the permissions a while ago and
remember seeing SYSTEM, LOCAL SERVICE and Administrators. I'll get
back in tommorrow and reset the permissions. Thanks........

I've never done this before. I was successful in gaining access to
that file - but don't know how to reset it.
