Yes, it is still in Vista. The command needs to be run from an elevated Command Prompt. Click Start, type cmd into the Start/Search box, rightclick cmd.exe in the list above and select 'Run as Administrator'. Jane, not plain ;) 64 bit enabled :) Batteries not included.

Rightclick on CMD.EXE and you'll find the "Run as Administrator" option.Quoting Jane C:"Click Start, type cmd into the Start/Search box, rightclick cmd.exe in the list above and select 'Run as Administrator'."

An easy way to do all this is drag a shortcut of command prompt to the start menu. To get to sfc, right click the shortcut and select "run as A." Should work for you. Did for me
