Can't Get sfc /scannow to complete
Saturday, January 7, 2012 by BigDogBigFeet | Discussion: Personal Computing
I'm looking for some pointers to get sfc to complete a scan.
It runs the Verification phase to 16% the aborts with:
"Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation"
I've tried disabling alot of startup programs but not all. I searched and found MS Help topic stating make sure Windows Moduler Installer is running and it is. I also tried turning off UAC.
So far no soap.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64
Any pointers.

Look in the log. (cbs file). Type "logs" w/o the quotes in the search box in your Start Menu.

c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.txt
copy that file to somewhere in My Documents and it will open in Notepad.

Gotcha .............
That file is longer than I am tall. Sheesh! Mostly what I got was a lot of files moved around. This damn thing moves so fast I was actually seeing entries made dozens of times a second! and that was just the repair end. The other part was ignoring ownership on system files, a lot of them. Beats the hell out of me what all that means.

I ran the sfc /scannow to completion but the window vanished after it finished. How do I find out if it found anything.
