Guest Thufir Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 In Vista, it's possible to go: start, search, "cmd", right click to run with Administrator priveledges, then enter "sfc /scannow" for the Windows File Protection (WFP) utility. This is awesome, implying that it's possible to boot to safe mode with command prompt, in Vista, and run the SFC. Can the same be done from XP? I know that the registry can be modified so that the SFC looks for the dll's in the recovery partition. thanks, Thufir

Also, <http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html> describes how to redirect WFP. If there's a recovery partition on the D drive, or some sort of sony backup on C drive, would that be useful? The DLL cache is corrupt, so I'm not seeing the point of redirecting sfc. -Thufir
