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.

Somebody at Microsoft screwed up, would be my idea.

It depends on whether SP2 was added or if SP2 came as part of the XP
install.

Windows File Protection and sfc.exe look for %windir%\system32\dllcache to
replace scewed up files, but if %windir%\ServicePackFiles exists
%windir%\ServicePackFiles\I386 is used instead.

"If System File Checker discovers that a protected file has been
overwritten, it retrieves the correct version of the file from the cache
folder (%Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache) or the Windows installation source
files, and then replaces the incorrect file."
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747

The ServicePackFiles folder only exists if you have upgraded to XP SP1 or XP
SP2 and they were not included in the original install and the SP1 or SP2
upgrade was done by downloading it from Microsoft. If the Service Pack is
installed by means of a CD-ROM or a distribution share, the ServicePackFiles
folder is not created. Same for slipstreaming a Service Pack.

When you're prompted for the CD, point to %Windir%\ServicePackFiles\i386
folder.

Default sfc /scannow

Thanks for the info, Wesley - much appreciated.

I've tried to follow your instructions, but I'm tired and might have missed
something.

I loaded this PC with my original XP Home stup disc, then SP1 disk and then
my SP2 disc.

I'm afraid that I'm still getting the message "Insert your Windows XP
Pofessional service Pack 2 CD now" message when I run sfc /scannow.

I'll try again tomorrow, but if you have any other tips, please let me know.

Thank you for helping.

Dave

For more complete information about this just type in google

reason you're having such problems is that you are using the awful web

clunkiest, most error-prone method of using the newsgroups there is.
Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook
Express, which comes with Windows XP, or Windows Mail, which comes
with Vista. See
