[SOLVED] Error 8007312; SFC /scannow and SfcFix Both Clean

OK. Are you able to do the following? You can try to create the USB on your corrupt machine first. If it doesn't work then maybe try the XP one.

Step#1 - Create a Bootable USB Drive

1. Please download the following two things to the Desktop of your Working computer.
a) Rufus
b) WinPE

2. Insert your USB drive into your working computer. Note: Please ensure that there isn't anything on the USB drive that you need as we will be formatting it.
3. Right-click on rufus-2.2p.exe and select Run as administrator. Answer Yes to Allow if prompted.
4. If you are asked to check for application updates. Just answer No.
5. Please click on the icon as shown below and select the ISO file that you downloaded to your desktop in step#1b.

6. Click the Start button.
7. When it's Done click the Close button.


Step#2 - Boot Your Failed Machine with USB Drive
1. Insert the USB Drive into your Failed computer.
2. Ensure the power is off on this computer.
3. Ensure that your system is configured to boot 1st from the USB Drive before your main hard drive. There are variations on how to do this depending on what machine you have
however a couple links that show the general steps can be found here and here.
4. Once the BIOS is set to boot from the USB Drive, when you boot your machine with the USB Drive plugged in you should get a message asking you to hit any key to boot from the USB.
Go ahead and do this.
5. When it's fully loaded you will be at a prompt as follows: x:\windows\system32
 
1. Type notepad in the command prompt window and hit enter.
2. Select the File menu and choose Open. Double click on Computer so you see all of your drive letters. You will see drive letter X: as well as others. Identify which one is your Local Disk. It won't be X.

Let me know the drive letter.
 
Type each line one at a time and hit enter after each. After you hit enter it should say 1 file copied for each one. Let me know.

copy c:\users\public\desktop\SOFTWARENEW\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
copy c:\users\public\desktop\SOFTWARENEW\components c:\windows\system32\config\components
 
Need clarification on how exactly to enter the lines.

Is the first line I type just the word "copy"?

i typed c,windows,system32...just as you wrote it and got "the system cannot find the path specified."
 
Let's do one line at a time.
Code: 
[COLOR=#0000ff]copy c[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]:\users\public\desktop\SOFTWARENEW\software c[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]:\windows\system32\config\software[/COLOR]

So at the prompt that you are at (x:\windows\system32) you would type the word copy followed by a space and then type c:\users\public\desktop\SOFTWARENEW\software followed by a space and then c:\windows\system32\config\software and then hit enter.

Note: This assumes that you at least did the steps for Download New Hive from Post#75.
 
Same error.

I think you missed another of my previous posts. In post 77 I explained I was unable to do what you asked of me in post 75.
 
No, I didn't miss that. You said when you click on Repair your Computer you got an error. Those steps are after the steps for Downloading the hive so I assumed you were successful up to that point. So can you confirm that you didn't do the steps for downloading and extracting the hives?
 
Sorry for the confusion. I did download the hives but could not replace them due to the "repair
your computer" error.
 
No problem. So you downloaded it and extracted them following the instructions below? Just need to confirm.

Download New Hive
 1. Please download SoftwareNew.zip and save it to the following path. C:\Users\Public\Desktop <----this path will be important later so please ensure you navigate here before saving.
2. Right-click on this file and select Extract all... Accept the defaults.
3. Once you are done you should have a folder on your desktop named SOFTWARENEW and inside that folder you should have a file named SOFTWARE and a file named COMPONENTS
 
I remember what happened now. When I right clicked to extract all it wouldn't let me download to softwarenew so I extracted to the desktop and now have "components" and "software" files on my desktop, not in a folder. Hope this makes sense.
