    i ran:

    sfc /scannow

    it informed me afterwards that it could not repair all the corrupt files that it found.

    So i went to view the CBS Logs, but "access was denied". Then i went to direct the files to a text file:

    findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

    Command Prompt seems to do something as a few seconds passes before I'm back at the command prompt cursor. But no text file.

    Any thoughts?

    run cmd prompt as administrator... it should work then

    to do this

    goto start > accessories > cmd (right click on it and choose "run as administrator")
    then in the cmd prompt type sfc /scannow

    it will have permissions to fix the corrupt files

    did that already, SFC and findstr won't run without it.

    ok you could try booting from a windows disk then choose repair console

    then try it from there.

    if it wont work from within windows its likely the drive didnt unmount

    booting from the windows disk and using the repair console should allow you to do it as the drive wont be mounted

    update:

    i managed to open the CBS logs, it was as simple as copying the logs to "My Documents", and they opened from there.

    Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

    update 2:

    after looking through the logs, the only file that could not be repaired was "recdisc.exe", this was the rescue disc that was part of SP1 and was later disabled in SP2 (Vista), so its down to the fact its disabled, so not needed.

    I've rebooted 5 times since, and no BSOD's recorded.
