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

OK, repeat the following steps. Let me know when you are at the prompt.

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 and which is your USB drive. It won't be X.
3. You can close notepad.

Let me know the drive letters for both your local disk and your USB drive.
 
In the folder "computer", x is "boot." X and C are the only Hard disk drives but under "devices with removable storage" I have E under CD-ROM and that is the actual boot USB.
 
OK, let's verify.

type diskpart in the command prompt and hit enter.
Then type list disk in the command prompt and hit enter.

It should list all of your disks. What are the sizes of the disks? One should match the size of your USB drive.
 
The one that says Disk 1 is 1912 MB which basically correlates to the USB which was at about 2 GB before it was formatted.
 
Good. Now type list volume at the command prompt and hit enter. Look for the disk that is that size and let me know what the drive letter is.
 
Excellent. Type exit in the command prompt and hit enter. You will be brought back to X:\windows\system32

Then type the following at the command prompt.
Code: 
[COLOR=#0000ff]copy e[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]:\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 e:\software followed by a space and then c:\windows\system32\config\software
 
The directory name is invalid. Then I retried and it gives me "overwrite c:\windows\system32\config\software?"yes/no/all

Not sure what to do.
 
Now type the following at the command prompt.

Code: 
[COLOR=#0000ff]copy e[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]:\components c[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]:\windows\system32\config\components[/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 e:\components followed by a space and then c:\windows\system32\config\components
 
Now we need to roll back the file that apparently caused all of this in Post#60. Please type the following at the command prompt and hit enter. You will be asked to overwrite. Go ahead and do so.

Code: 
[COLOR=#0000FF]copy c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-ncrypt-dll_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.23419_none_60742c5e68f77f1f\ncrypt.dll c:\windows\system32\ncrypt.dll[/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:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-ncrypt-dll_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.23419_none_60742c5e68f77f1f\ncrypt.dll followed by a space and then c:\windows\system32\ncrypt.dll
 
This one isn't working. Tried it twice. "the system can't find the path specified." Can you double check?
