    Replacing an corrupted but important system file with one from another harddrive


    Hi was wondering if it would be possible to take for example winload.exe from a fresh system and replace the corrupted one with it Or just the whole windows folder Would that be possible?

    Corrupted file RAR

    If the archive has been created using WinRAR, why don't you try WinRAR itself? It has a built-in repair feature for repairing corrupted archive (ZIP as well as RAR). Follow the steps given below:
    • Open WinRAR application in your system.
    • Now click on File tab > Open or simply press Ctrl+O.
    • A small window "Find Archive" will pop up. Locate the corrupt RAR archive from your system directory and select it.
    • Now click Open button.
    • Click Tools tab > Repair archive or simply press Alt+R.
    • Again a small window "Repairing File name.rar" will pop up.
    • Now click Browse to select a location to save the repaired archive.
    • Check the box "Treat the corrupt archive as RAR" and click OK.
    • WinRAR will start repairing of corrupt RAR archive. Once it gets completed click Close.
    I hope the above steps will help you repair the corrupted RAR archive.

    Thanks.

    Replace corrupt system file

    My system: Windows 10 pro Build 14393

    I had a problem with a missing login input field.

    I followed the suggestions in support.microsoft.com:

    "Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files"

    1. Open elevated prompt

    2. Issue the command "sfc /scannow" command

    3. It reported 1 corrupt file: C:\windows\system32\Bubbles.scr

    So I wanted to manually replace the corrupted file.



    1. In an elevated command prompt, I issued the command

    takeown /f C:\windows\system32\Bubbles.scr

    with success.



    2. But the next command failed:

    icacls C:\windows\system32\Bubbles.scr /GRANT ADMINISTRATORS:F

    ADMINISTRATORS: Zuordnungen von Kontennamen und Sicherheitskennungen wurden nicht durchgeführt.

    0 Dateien erfolgreich verarbeitet, bei 1 Dateien ist ein Verarbeitungsfehler aufgetreten.



    I guessed that the file ist probably locked.

    So I booted from my repair DVD

    and selected "Command Prompt"

    In the command prompt, I wanted to replace the corrupted file.

    However, drive C: was not mounted!?!

    Then I booted with a Linux-DVD

    and tried to mount the CReplacing an corrupted but important system file with one from another harddrive :partition.

    Error: "Cannot be mounted because in hibernate mode".

    What else can I try?

    Please help!
