I had a long boot time this morning. Normally it's around 90 seconds from button to logged in on an account. However this morning it was still trying to get out of bed after 10 minutes, hung on the nice Win7 logo.

Naturally, run a Chkdsk to see if the C: drive is still in one piece, it is.

So, Safe Mode and Sytem File Checker. Which was sort of happy, but told me it had found several corrupted files, but was unable to repair/replace some of them.

I have kept a copy of the log, and can make that available if needed, probably on Dropbox.

My initial question is, what would prevent SFC from replacing damaged files? I do have the OEM DVD available, it was never requested.
