Corrupt System File

Hello Mac-o-Philes!
Just repaired Permissions prior to doing a System Upgrade. Got the following error message:
Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Permissions repair complete
Any ideas? Thanks!

V.K.,
Thanks. I made a copy of the file, compressed it, and saved it to another location outside of the System Folder. Then I deleted the original. System seems to be running fine.
I will re=install it.
Please do reinstall it. and do not ever delete system files like this one! this is the wrong way to deal with permissions error messages.

Missing/corrupted system file in ..\system32\config and in ..\repair folder

Hello everyone,
   Could you please help me with this proble ? I have got Windows XP PRO SP3 OEM.
Today when I started pc i have got error meesage system file in Windows/system32/config missing. When I look into folder system file is here, but maybe he is broken. I said fine no problém I have got Windows/repair. I only need to copy default file to config
folder.
But..
When I wanted to copy system file from Windows/repair folder there is no system file only system.bak. So I copy this file into Windows/system32/config and rename it onto system. I tried reboot PC, I saw starting Windows logo I almost jump into air, but after
few seconds my smile disappear. I got automatic restart. I tried it again, again and again same. So I tried run pc in safe mode with same result.
On the internet I read its can be by oem version of system. But where can I get system file now. Its possible to take system file form another pc ? Thank you for your advice.

Problem solved.
There is solution which help me, so maybe it can help to others.
Its better when you can unplug disk from pc and connect it to another via usb or via ata/sata such as another disk in the pc.
1. At first at computer you need to see invisible files and protected files of operation system.
                      Computer > F10 > Tools > Folder options
2. Now on the "corrupted disk" in the root you can see folder called "System volume infomation", but I think you dont have permission for it, right ?
                       Right click > Properties > Security > Add your self and add rights
-now you can open system volume information folder
3. open _restore{hexa} folder. Now zou can see a lot of folders started RP<number>, try to open the folder with higher nubmer. Next open snapshot folder. Now you can see a lot of files. But we want
_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE or _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM, choose what you need. Now copy file whant you need for example _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM and rename it for SYSTEM.
4. Open this path Windows\system32\config and rename your corrupted file. For example "system" to system.bad
5. Last copy your new "system" file from SYSTEM VOLUME FOLDER which you created in step 3 to Windows\system32\config folder.
6. Plug your hdd back into your pc and start pc and hope all will be fine :) .
I hope this instruction will help someone, good day and smile :)

I-Tunes update has corrupted system files

The latest version of i-tunes did not complete the installation process and now I am getting an error message "MSVCR80.dll missing from your computer" followed by "Error 7 (WindowsError 126). I cannot start i-Tunes. Tried to re-install but it will not complete the process. No i-Tunes or access to my library!

Corrupted System Files, No Longer Boots

Note: I am trying to fix my grandfather's computer, and I may not know some exact details about what happened just before the problems began occurring.
About a week ago, the computer would refuse to boot up. It would sit at the gray screen with the Apple logo without the loading dial showing. I booted off of the Tiger install disk, and ran the disk utility.
When I verified the disk permissions, it gave the error, "Disk Utility internal error: Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." I get the same error message when I try to repair the disk permissions.
When I choose verify disk, I receive the error message, "First Aid failed: Disk Utility stopped verifying "Macintosh HD" because the following error was encountered: The underlying task reported failure on exit." Below in red, it says, "Invalid Key length
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit.
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair"
If I tell it to repair the disk, I get the error message, "First Aid failed: Disk Utility stopped repairing "Macintosh HD" because the following error was encountered: The underlying task reported failure on exit." Below in red, it says, "Invalid Key length
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit.
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error."
Is there anything I can do to save the computer?

My Vista system crashed due to a corrupted windows file. When I reformatted C:/ & reloaded firefox & tbird, my bookmarks were gone. I have an image of the drive , but I don't know how to recover them and get the data back where I can access it.

Vista system crashed due to a corrupted system file. The C drive was reformatted, and windows reloaded, along with the rest of my programs.
Before the drive was reformatted, an image was made of it on a USB drive to save all the data. Now I need to know how to get the Bookmarks back for Firefox, and the Address Book back for Thunderbird.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. It worked very well, for both Firefox and Tbird.
One hitch, until I remembered: those are all hidden files, in hidden folders. I had a devil of a time finding the "roaming" folder, until I found out how to unhide everything. In years past, I used DOS for that kind of thing. Explorer is much less user-friendly. Now that I know how to do it, it's simple.
Thanks again for the guidance

System file corruption-alternatives to erase&install?

To make a long story short(er) I restored from (SuperDuper) backup after the HD failed and Apple gave me a new one. Then problems occurred with the system being slow (hesitating a lot) and having trouble connecting via wireless and finally not connecting at all, and then the machine ended up in "limbo" (according to the Mac Genius.) Now I've been told to erase and install, but I'm reluctant... There's a years worth of tweaks, updates, and installs on my MacBook! (After all, that's why I was so fervent about backing up...) And Boot Camp too.*)
Evidently "some" corrupt system files made their way into my backup before the old drive failed. (There was no warning; one day it was just gone.)
My question is, is there a way to figure out/diagnose which system files are corrupt and to replace only those? Or, alternatively, is there a way to "erase and install" only the system? Please forgive my "lack of Mac," I come from many years with Windows.
*)I'm assuming I can use Winclone to restore Windows (if I really have to erase the drive) once I repartition using Boot Camp. Um, all I have to do is remember how big I made that partition...

I suggest that you start with an Archive and Install (checking the box to preserve settings). The last time I did this was in an upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3 on our little iMac G3, and after it finished, everything was just exactly the same as it had been under 10.2, except for one thing: those little pictures were gone by the users' names on the login screen (it was trivial to reconnect those pictures with the names). So I would try that, and see if your issues are fixed. If they are not, then there is another step you can take, which is to delete your preference files that are associated with the problem (i.e. wireless, airport). and if these things are not effective, then I would proceed with the full erase and install. I haven't done the Archive and Install with Tiger but I don't think it gives you a lot of options about what setting to save ... I think it's either all or none.
By the way, before doing any of these things, you should make at least one complete backup or clone of your entire disk.
Also, before doing Archive & Install or Erase & Install, create a new user and login as that user to see if the problem goes away. If it does, then there is not much point in doing a new system installation because the problem would have been pinpointed to your local user files/preferences, not the system-wide software.
I am not surprised that the Apple Genius suggested Erase/Install versus Archive/Install. The Erase/Install is guaranteed to fix any software issue, so the Genius won't need to deal with you in a follow up anymore. They have people lined up and want to just get you on your way, even though it might cause you a lot of work to recover all your settings and installed software (that's your time, not his). The Archive/Install is also highly likely to fix almost all software problems, but if it's something corrupted in your user settings, then it might not, in which case you'll be back and he'll have to deal with you. So he's suggesting killing a fly on a window with a sledgehammer, when maybe a flyswatter would work just as well (and cause less collateral damage to your house). I understand the motivations of a busy Apple Genius, but from your point of view, it would be better to try the other things before finally going to the erase and install.
Remember to do that backup before trying any of these things.
In general Macs do not need to have system software reinstalled. In fact I have never had to do it as a repair/diagnostic step on any of my machines using Mac OS X (except that one Archive and Install I did, but that was on a healthy system to go from 10.2 to 10.3).

Firefox 26.0 update corrupts windows system files

I updated firefox mid-December 2013 on a pc running Windows 7. Everything was fine until I shut down. Windows would not start. Safe mode would not start. We eventually found that there were corrupt system files. We fixed those, uninstalled the firefox update and everything was fine. At that time I was not certain firefox was the source of the problem because I had installed other updates and programs.
I just updated to firefox 26.0 (no other changes made), shut down, and couldn't launch windows. Uninstalled the update and fixing my sytem again.

How can I repair Vista system files with only a Toshiba recovery disc??

I have pretty much come to the conclusion that the reason I can't install Vista service pack 2 is due to some corrupt vista files. I ran the program that checks that system files and it said some are corrupt. There are some things I can't do, like turn on the Windows firewall even from that special adminostrar screen, or if I schedule a check disc scan, when I reschedule it for start up, it doesn't do it at startup. I had a Red Screen about a year ago, and it did a bunch of stuff and at the end, it said you had a major event and contact your administartor. Well, I am the administartor, lol. Anyway, it worked fine and I attribute these problems to that event.
Vista discs come with a repair option. All I have is the Toshiba disc that lets you reinstall the Toshiba and Vendor applications OR reformat the hard drive. I am not going to spend days trying to get my system back to where it is by tracking down everything I have installed especially when its working. Is there a work around? I will buy a Vista Home Premium disc if I have to before refortmatting. I have an x205-S9349 with Vista Home Premium. THANKS!

I am tring to repair the permissions on my computer and am getting all of these types of errors. Computer is dragging. I reinstalled my operating system and this is what is happening. Any suggestions. Happening on my desk top I Mac and on my Mac Book.

In all probability, that means you have a corrupted system file. Try installing a new system file to replace the damaged one."

How to repair corrupt \windows\system32\config\system files?

T61 will not boot to Win XP - says the \windows\system32\config\system file is missing or corrupt.
BIOS hardware test of disk drive passes. When I place a Microsoft Win XP disk to attempt a repair, the message says there is no disk drive detected. I assume this is due to unique Lenovo HDD drivers that are not on the Microsoft disk.
Is there a way to repair this file(s) without doing a full HDD reformat?
THank you.

You need to include the Intel Matrix Storage manager via Floppy disk while running setup-CD or change in BIOS "Config"-SATA" to compatibility.
Then you can repair windows but first backup the hard drive onto annother disk f.ex with Acronis True Image Home (Emergency CD).
Boot from XP Retail-CD
`select "Install"
select the drive with the found windows installation and "Repir"
Windows Setup removes the system files and replaces them from CD
after systemreboot you willneed to re-install all patches and updates

T40 missing or corrupted \windows\system file after recovery process

My T40 Thinkpad had a corrupt drive so I secured the recovery disks from IBM to rebuild the hard disk. The recovery process seemed to work well, but when completed and prompted to remove all disks and reboot, the system booted and failed before Windows XP loaded with an error message that the windows\system file was corrupt or missing. Any recommendations on how to succesfully recover? Thanks.

boot off the WinXP Disc and run a repair. Did it mention the boot.ini file being corrupt, or something else?

Etc/system file corrupted how to recover it?

etc/system file corrupted how to recover it?

with boot -a you can only specify new /etc/system during boot , e.g. /dev/null
but if you want to recover it , you can do it from live kernel ( if you didn't reboot after /etc/system was corrupted )
with
echo ::system|mdb -k
or from previous crash dump simmilar way
cd /var/crash/`uname -n`

System file corrupt

Hi all,
we are having 3 db in windows box oracle 9i version daily we scheduled a backup its for dev and uat database. but when i checked the same of back it shows that 2 are backed up one is not backed up due to that ora-01115 error.
then wi checked the in site they said that due to malfunction of harddisk problem.and bad sectors. so in the meantime what i did is back up controlfile and then shutdown the database and did a full consistent copy almost completing stage the system file is not copyed due to that data cyclic redundancy error. i tried twice no use same result.
is there anyway to recover that system file. or noway?
if it is not ok then i have to clone the test db and give it to dev.
is there anyway to bring that system with the help of controlfile...
pls suggest me..

If you cannot make a full export without getting an error you can still try to export all the user data and generating all stored code: packages, procedures, functions, sequences, etc ....
Is the CRC error being reported by the OS or Oracle? Because it is the system tablespace I am not sure if it can be used but have you looked into using the dbms_repair package to find, mark, and skip the corrupt blocks?
I have fixed corruption in the rdbms base tables before by identifying the corrupted object and then dropping and recreating the object. If this method will work for you will depend on what is corrupt.
If you have support opening a SR and getting support guidence on how to save your data is probably worthwhile.
Otherwise you need to restore your last good backup. But I suggest you verify the status of the backup before using it. It may in fact be bad so you might want to try alternate approaches to savalaging the data and rebuilding the database
