Default sfc /scannow

That KB says (Cause) ".inf files contain an incorrect source media
description"

What could cause that to happen in the first place? Any ideas?

Will sfc/scannow work properly once SP2 is installed? I seem to vaguely
remember that there was some 'fix' necessary!

Sorry to 'but in' here .......... but your answers might help 'larry' too.
