In this part of the video, it provides instructions on how to fix DISM and SFC errors related to corrupted system files on Windows. It explains the tools DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) and SFC (System File Checker) and their functions.

To address common errors, first, boot into the Advanced Recovery Environment. If recovery is disabled, enable it using specific commands. Access Command Prompt, and use various commands to fix simple errors like ‘system resource protection could not perform the requested operation’ with SFC, or ‘access is denied’ with DISM restore health.

If the first method doesn’t work, boot from a bootable USB drive of Windows to address potentially corrupted or missing files in the Windows partition. This process is necessary for errors like ‘DISM error 87 the cleanup image option is unknown’ or ‘SFC scannow Windows resource protection could not start the repair service’.
