Corrupted files -- unable to use routine solutions
I'm having a problem with sfc /scannow reporting corrupted files that it can't fix.
So, I browsed this forum and found several threads about using a Win8.1 install media to fix this. I have that on a USB stick.
But ... the instructions say to do the following:
Problem is ... when I look at the contents of the USB stick, in the Sources directory, there is no install.wim file; instead, there is an install.esd file. I created this USB stick directly from a download of the Win8.1 ISO from MS, so I know the USB stick is OK.
So now, how to I get a legit install.wim file to do this repair?
