I have a Windows Server 2016 with what looks like file corruption. It will not boot and automatic repair is not succeeding. Someone decided rewiring the power circuit it was on was a good idea!
The RAID 1 hard disk does seem to be good and the data (which is on different partition the the OS) seems to be intact.
I do have an SFC/CBS log which is about 9MB. Before I tried SFC I used DISM to try and restore corrupted files from a Windows 2016 image. It has errors related to this post:
[SOLVED] - SFC issues on Windows Server 2016 (Physical Host)
and this at MS:
System File Checker (SFC) incorrectly flags Windows Defender PowerShell module files as corrupted
Here's part of the DISM log:

Don't know if I can run SFCFix; I only have access to the command line in Windows PE or I can boot from the 2016 image.
What can I try next?
Thanks.
