Hi,
I am trying to run SFC/scannow on my desktop.  When it asks for my cd I insert it 
and the message  I get is that I have the wrong cd ???  This is the original copy 
and I installed windows xp myself so I know that it's the correct cd.  
Help please 
thanks 
Pat

Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

Google, Autostreamer it makes it easy, and you can download the service pack here. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: SFC Tuesday, February 3, 2009 at 6:04 am Posted by Pat (98 messages posted) Oh my this did not work thanks Any other suggestiongs Pat On Monday, February 2, 2009 at 4:34 pm, Steve wrote: >Make a New XP CD with the same Service Pack Slipstreamed into the CD.

The next time you reinstall Windows use it instead of the original one.

I slipstreamed a Windows XP Pro SP2 disc and a SP3 download together to make an SP3 install disc using Autostream. When I run sfc /scannow, I just get stuck in an infinite loop with dialog boxes that say I have the wrong disc version. I can't kill the sfc process with Windows Task Manager! I backed up my registry and tried this advice: http://www.pcug.org.au/boesen/SFC/SFC.htm which basically consists of copying the I386 folder from your slipstreamed disc to your hard drive and modifying your registry to point to the I386 folder on your HD. No joy. Microsoft was deathly silent when I posted the results of slipstreaming to their Windows XP "Expert Zone" web site, and, in an extremely interesting twist, has just erased the discussion which used to be here: http://www.microsoft.com/wn3/aspx/notifauth.aspx?url=http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups/reader.mspx?dg%3dmicrosoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support%26mid%3d388e57ad-5805-4ddf-ab15-43c9b7f78a14 Perhaps they should rename their OS Opaque Windows!
