Question

Somehow windows xp C:\Windows\Logs\CBS Log\CBS folder is missing in c:\windows?

Answer 1

I am of the notion that suggesting sfc /scannow is akin to saying "I have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it".

sfc /scannow is designed to run one time when you install XP.  The purpose is to populate the dllcache folder with backup copies of important XP files.  Sure - you can run it manually if you want.

sfc /scannow does not replace missing or corrupt files in the system32 folder.  It only cares about the dllcache folder.  If you would like a little test case where you can prove it to yourself, I can post that (I composed it in hopes that the Microsoft engaged Support Engineer "experts" would stop suggesting it).  Then you will know what sfc /scannow does and what it doesn't do.

Even when sfc /scannow runs successfully, you will only see a starting and complete message in the Event Viewer System log that looks like this:

Event Type:    Information

Event Source:    Windows File Protection

Event Category:    None

Event ID:    64016

Windows File Protection file scan was started.

Event Type:    Information

Event Source:    Windows File Protection

Event Category:    None

Event ID:    64017

Windows File Protection file scan completed successfully.

There is no information about what it did or what it didn't do.

Even if sfc /scannow finds something to do and replaces a file, you will not know about it, but you will have wasted your time and still have your original problem.

That makes suggesting it or trying it even more of a waste of time.
