Well, I really don't want to have to reformat but I've searched on many forums, google, friends, everything I possibly can and still can't fix my problem. The problem is:



If you don't want to visit the link, it's my Command prompt trying to follow through with the command, SFC /scannow. When I do it, I get up to 7% and then it says "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation". I've done a full disk check, my computer is always clean and malware free. This is a really odd problem for me. I can't go back to a system restore either as I usually clean those out every month or so.

I run the SFC scan once a month or so just to make sure everything is fine but seeing how it doesn't work, something has to be wrong? I also don't have the Windows 7 disk right now, so that's a big problem.

Sorry for the jumbled text or if I wasn't coherent, I just really want to fix this problem and I know this forum is filled with very intelligent minds, and easy going people who are willing to help. Thanks ahead of time everyone, I hope to be a frequent user of these boards Smiley

 Azn Leather Sock,

Welcome to the forum

Try reading the log file what SFC.exe creates. This should give you a idea of what's causing the issue.

Extract from c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log

How to analyze the log file entries that the Microsoft Windows Resource Checker (SFC.exe)

try and perform System File Checker in Clean Boot and the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). You can access WinRE using F8 at the boot menu, select Repair Your Computer to start WinRE.

If the issue persists, you can perform an In-Place upgrade to repair the system.
 
In-place Upgrade
============
1.    Start the computer.
2.    Insert the Windows 7 DVD in the computer's DVD drive.
3.    Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate:
 
a.     If Windows automatically detects the DVD, the Install now screen appears. Click Install now.
 
b.     If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:
 
    b1. Click Start, click Run, type Drive:\setup.exe, and then click OK. Note Drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive.
   
    b2. Click Install now.
 
4.    When you reach the Which type of installation to you want? screen, click Upgrade to upgrade the current operating system to Windows 7.
 
Hope this helps.
