OSD Deployment : TSMBOOTSTRAP.exe – Corrupt FILE : The file or directory C:\_SMSTaskSequence is corrupt ad unreadable. Please run the CHKDSK utility.
Issue:
Recently when I tried to PXE boot to image a machine, when I boot and select my task sequence , I am given a TsmBootstrap.exe error.
------- The error -------
The file or directory c:\_SMSTaskSequence is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
------- The error -------
Now, I can't deploy any task sequence from boot media without getting the error.
Solution :
The solution for the BAD computer is with “diskpart” to remove all partitions and create a new small with a clean bootable partition ‘C’.
The problem for the bad computer is that the folder C:\_SMSTaskSequence is already present, but it has gone corrupt and I didn’t had the permission to delete or rename this folder.
After erasing all partitions, it works again like a charm.
Hope it Helps ,
