Hi Kesavan, Welcome to the forum.

Perform SFC scan


Click 'Start' > Type cmd in the search field > Right-click the command prompt at the top of the list and select 'Run as Administrator'
Inside the command prompt, type sfc /scannow > Press 'Enter'
4. Reboot and test.

I have tried running sfc/scannow what i'm getting is "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them"

Is there any other solution?

Do you have a Win 7 install disc or borrow one off a friend?

Thanks for your help and time Britec & GuiltySpark...

Didn't really had much time to test with the method you guys provide. I Have already solved the problem by recloning the machine & restoring backup.

Thanks once again guys for the support...
