Ok. First the slash is this way " / ", I did the other way and it said
" sfc\ is not recognized " Rich was right on that.
The messages on the screen were basically scanning the integrety of this
,verify the integrety of that----. The bottom line was it said" no repair
operation is performed.". Something caught my eye was this :---
sfc/ scannow
sfc/ verifyfile =c:\windows\system32\Kerne132.dll
sfc/ scanfile = d:\windows\system32\Kerne132.dll
offbootdir =d:\/offwindir =d:\windows
Of course I have no idea what that means, just wonder why single out that
Kerne132.dll
Anyway you experts please tell me what you make of it. Thank you.
