I’m getting the following error on a Windows Server 2003 machine:
“CScript.exe – Corrupt file. The file or directory
C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll is corrupt and unreadable. Please run
the Chkdsk utility.”I have a few questions:
- Will running Chkdsk cause problems, such as making the computer unbootable into the Operating System?
- Which should I download a copy of “shell32.dll” from Microsoft or some other computer and copy it to the server as a backup?
- What safety measures should I take when running ‘Chkdsk’ on a Windows Server 2003 machine?
Answer
- Yes if it also detects hard disk errors. Or errors in other files that a responsible for a boot.
- I’m not aware that you can download a single file from Microsoft. So copy it from a machine with exact Service Pack and Patch level. But if your hard disk is broken that wouldn’t help anyway.
- You have to have a (full) backup! If your repair fails, then you can do a disaster recovery.
