    Back up has failed

    I'm using windows Vista.
    recently, I tried to backup my HHD with Acronis TI 10. The backup failed because of corrupted files. I switched to Paragon : same problem.
    I decided to run a sfc /scannow. The report said: the scan found some corrupted files but could not fix them.
    Is there any way of fixing the corrupted files , using my Vista OS CD without having to do the clean install?
    Thank you
    Vu

    First run a chkdsk /r. That will fix errors and attempt to recover data from bad sectors.
    Then run sfc /scannow again.
    If there are still issues, a repair install will fix the problems while not affecting your data or installed programs.

    Hi Ua549!
    I ran chkdsk /r, then sfc /scannow.
    sfc /scannow said: Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
    Regards
