    Use DISM to repair external drive?


    I am trying to repair an external drive drive H: that won't boot from the PC it belongs to gives Windows errors on bootup, it is apparently running off of Windows 10 Pro version 1909. I have it docked to this PC which is running Windows 10 Pro version 21H2 drive C:. I found a 1909 ISO and extracted the "install.wim" file from it. When I go to run DISM I use: dism /image:h:\ /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:c:\install.wimWhen it runs it says: "Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.19041.844" why is it still trying to use 19041 when I have specified a soure tha

  2. "Repair" external drive

    I was downloading a file attached to an email and Windows 10 told me it could not access my external drive. It suggested I "repair" the drive. How do I do that?

    Any helpful suggestions are appreciated.

    Thanks,

    External drives and Windows 10 issue

    Since you are having multiple issues with Windows 10, we suggest you to run a System File Checker (SFC) and Deployment Image Servicing (DISM) to look into the system for possible corruption. To do so, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X
    • On the menu which should pop-up on the lower-left side of your screen, click
      Command Prompt (admin)
    • Type the following on Command Prompt (wait for the SFC scan to finish before running DISM):

      sfc /scannow

      dism /online /restorehealth /cleanup-image

    Check the result of the scans, and if it states that it was able to fix some corrupted files, simply restart your computer to apply the fix and check if the issue persists.

    Regarding your external hard disk, we suggest you to update your USB Hard Disk drivers. To do so, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Click Device Manager.
    • Find the disk drive for your external hard disk.
    • Right-click your disk drive.
    • Click Update Driver Software.
    • A new windows will prompt, click Search automatically for updated driver software.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Use DISM to repair external drive?

    How to get damn DISM to work?

    Thx guys, I'll compress this data into a blog post. For all the so called guides I've read, not a single one mentioned it has to be WIM file (some listed even ESD which clearly doesn't work) or that certain ISO images don't work with DISM.

    After I've done DISM thingie, SFC also managed to repair stuff. Which is what I've needed here.
