Hello,
What is in the log file after you run a repair? You should be presented
with a log file, can you post what is in that log file.
Then can you go to the cmd prompt option while in the repair mode.
Try running this command:
sfc /verifyonly /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows:
Now capture the cbs.log file from c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log
Then run findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt on
that cbs.log file.
Post the results of what is in the sfcdetails.txt file.
As a precaution, make a copy of all three hal files that live in the
\windows folder
Hal.dll
Halacpi.dll
halmacpi.dll
So that if the hal files are missing or corrupted, you can copy the three
files back since you have them backed up already.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
