Error 0x6ba (RPC server is unavailable) when running sfc /scannow on Windows XP in Safe Mode
- by leeand00
I think that my mup.sys file is corrupt. I received the following error when trying to access a network share that was located on my Windows 7 box, from my Windows XP box:
No network provider accepted the given network path.
After reading this I attempted to follow the directions by rebooting my computer into safe mode. After I run "sfc /scannow" I receive the following error message:
The specific error code is 0x000006ba
[The RPC server is unavailable].
When I go into Services, it says that the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service is running but that the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator is not running. When I try to start the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator, it gives me an error saying:
Error 1084: This service cannot be started in Safe Mode
What can I do about this? If it can't find the Remote Procedure Call service in safe mode?
