Run sfc /scannow from C:\I386 directory Tuesday, May 29, 2007 at 7:26 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rich Kurtz (12246 messages posted) I'd swear I've done this before but I can't get it to work now, hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I want to run sfc /scannow and have it pull needed files from the C:\I386 directory instead of requesting that I put in my XP CD. I changed the following registry keys from D:\ (my CD drive) to C:\ as described in many tip sites on the web. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup SourcePath Reg_SZ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion SourcePath Reg_SZ I then copied the I386 directory tree from my XP CD to C:. I rebooted then checked the registry values and they both are set to C:\ but when I run sfc /scannow, it still asks for my XP CD. Any ideas?
