Once you have a working (non-corrupt) operating system you must evaluate the drive file structure (it was also corrupt) using chkdsk /x /f /r and the drive using HD Tune.
There are 2 parts that can be done overnight:
1) chkdsk /x /f/ r
2) HD Tune error scan
Each of these may take many hours.
Wow.. what a mess ! Wonder how this happened? Been fine up until the 1703 update..
Really do appreciate your help..
It has updated and now is Readyb to Install.
This is the panel I am shown.. Am I at the right place for a repair?
Okay... Keeping all personal files option...
Started and Black screen now ... for 20 mins plus.
Is this correct or should I boot it up?
If so, with or without USB still in?
EDIT: Yes it came alive and is still alive and kicking... 59% now !

Okay. There should not be a black screen. That may be a graphics driver or graphics card problem.
Once you have the operating system installed you must check the drive.
Then you will test the graphics.
Wo! Great -- all upped with Creation 1709 and all my programs and desktop icons still there !
Now to check the drives..
Nice progress.
Please post the URL into the thread for the computer's drivers.
What is the age of the computer?
Are all of the components the same age or were some replaced?
Were you having problems with the drive?
Do you have the files backed up?
Have you made a backup image?
After sfc /scannow - CBS.log too big for attach 3.4MB
So there is more or persistent corruption after the in place upgrade repair?
1) backup all files to another drive or to the cloud
2) download and install Macrium and make a backup image of the drive
Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free
3) place the backup image onto another drive or into the cloud.
4) if there are problems with the drive Macrium may not be able to make an image of the drive and may display an error.
5) create a brand new restore point
6) run HD Tune with
a) health scan
b) benchmark
c) error scan (run the full scan: this may take several hours)
7) run chkdsk /x /f /r after the above steps.
The first time you had run sfc /scannow it was not able to complete.
This time it did complete but was not able to fix the corruption.
So rerun the 3 Dism commands and see if it fixes the corruption.
