Repairing Corrupt Vista Files

Hi,

All who are using Vista OS very well know that most of the Vista errors occurs due to system corrupt files. Repairing or troubleshooting these files manually is almost near to impossible.

Thanks to Vista's inbuild "System File checker" application or we can say a inbuild tool. A "System File checker" verifys the integrity of all core system files very effitiently.So lets see how this happens.

Basically there are two types of scan system in "Syatem File checker" i.e
1) Verification mode
2) Scan/Repair mode

The Verification mode will only check the files without reparing them and makes you know which files are corrupt.And the second one Scan/Repair Mode will automatically fix errors it finds.

To start open the command prompt by typing cmd in Run box.

Then, type one of the following commands in command prompt depending on the type of scan you wish to perform:

  1. sfc /verifyonly ->To verify any corrupt files only.
  2. sfc /scannow ->To verify and fix any corrupt files.

Now the scan will start and this will inform you of any files that are corrupt or require fixing.
