Missing System Files in XP PRO

[Gary Gecoma]

System restore will not work at all - it says several
files are missing and also if I gointo MY Computer and
goto click on C: Drive it ties to find a Setup.exe file
for something.
The Icon of the Hard drive is also missing it has a black
white square instead.
Help !!!

Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. In the resulting
Command Prompt window, type: SFC /SCANNOW , and hit enter.
You may be prompted to insert your Windows CD in the CD Drive.

SFC =3D System File Checker. SFC will scan your system and replace =
missing
or damaged XP system files with the correct version.

Would this scan be effective even with all the hotfixes
from microsoft?
