Question about System File Checker.
I'm planning to help a friend set up SFC to scan from her Hard drive, rather
than be reliant upon the Install CD. Like me she's using XP Pro SP -2 Retail. In order to make sure I have all my bases covered (and because I've done this before with an OEM build of XP that had been upgraded to SP2 with a slipstreamed disk I made,) I changed the registry values on a clean install of XP Pro SP 2, following directions provided by Marc Liron at www.updatexp.com. When I went to test SFC /Scannow... I was prompted for the Windows installation CD to rebuild the DLL Cache file. So I went back into the registry to see what else I could have missed - needing changing. In HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Set up the item ServicePackCachePath is pointing to C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\ServicePackCache ... which is a folder I've determined to be non-existent in C:\Windows - after showing hidden and protected OS files So taking a guess I changed that value to C:\windows. Also In Setup - the SourcePath and ServicePackSourcePath are both pointing to C: - and in WinNt\CurrentVersion\Winlogon the Sourcepath is also set to C:\ because \i386 was copied to C: from the install disk. I'm still getting the same message to insert the CD. Is there someone who can help me get this straightened out? Thanks much in advance. |
