DISM Restorehealth "cannot find source files"

Hi

i had issues with using this method, i downloaded the windows iso and i set it to drive e than i chanced the x placement and run the operation and i got the following message "

The source files could not be found.

Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see Configure a Windows Repair Source." i followed the link and it sent me to an msn home
page !

 

Error: 0x800f081f, "The source files could not be found." after performing DISM command

I've run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth with the following results:

Error: 0x800f081f

The source files could not be found.

Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see

When I go to the suggested link
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077 this what I see:

Choose a Repair Source

You can use Windows Update to provide the files that are required to restore a Windows feature or repair a corrupted operating system. You can also configure Group Policy to gather the required files from a network location. Multiple source locations can
be specified in the Group Policy.

To use Windows Update to restore optional features and repair Windows images

•Windows Update will be used by default if it is allowed by the policy settings on the computer.

•If you want to use Windows Update as a primary or backup source for files that are used to restore optional features or repair Windows images, you should make sure that your firewall is configured to allow access to Windows Update.

It really doesn't tell you how to designate a repairs source. How do you do that?
