After I install Windows, I move CD rom Drive letters to M, N, and then turn the unallocated space on the Master Drive to a D Partition. All I need to do then is copy the 386 folder to the D Partition, and sfc works with no Registry editing. When I looked at the registry entries after your post I noticed that on the First Reg Key both Values pointed to D, Which for Me is a My 386 Partition already, so I figured that may be the problem you were having. As a test I changed the ServicePackSourcePath to M which is my CD rom, and sfc wouldn't work, so that kind of confirmed for Me the two Source values in that Key should be the Same, and if yours was still pointing to your CdRom (D) then changing it to C should work.
