"sfc /scannow" an offline Win7 on hard disk from booted Win10 ?
Assume a hard disk contains a possibly (partially) corrupted Windows 7.
I boot now a ToolsCD or USB flash drive with Windows 10.
When I open now a CmdPrompt and enter
sfc /scannow /offwindir=C:\Windows /offbootdir=C:\
then I cannot do this since the local, active, running WinOS is different from the investigated one.
