hard drive - Cannot repair file in Windows 8.1

Windows 8.1 64 bit running Windows Update continuously.



Suddenly I had significant problem getting the laptop started. Refresh, recovery, reset, restore did not work. Recovery would not recognize the recovery disk. After trying boot options 1, 4 and 5, option 7 finally got it back alive.



Afterwards I have been trying to see if the OS is corrupted. And is of course hesitant to turn off the laptop for example to check the harddisk with chkdsk.



DISM even when pointing to the windows iso DVD still returns with the message that "The source files could not be found". And sfc /scannow "found corrupt files". I tried to run this a couple of times.




Looked in the CBS file and searched for the text "cannot repair member file", there only seem to be one file. Here is the first entry with the error message:
2014-07-05 13:05:37, Info CSI 000005c6 [SR] Cannot repair member file [l:36{18}]"Amd64\CNBJ2530.DPB" of prncacla.inf, Version = 6.3.9600.16384, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 (9), Culture neutral, VersionScope = 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, Type = [l:24{12}]"driverUpdate", TypeName neutral, PublicKey neutral in the store, hash mismatch
