hi,
I ran sfc yesterday and put my original winxpoem(sp1) CD in when prompted. I am running winxpoem (sp2, installed from the sp2 update CD). I also have a slipstreamed CD where I merged sp2 with winxp(sp1) and made it bootable. I prefer to install xp from the original (sp1) CD and then add the sp2 update so I can uninstall it if needed. My question is, when prompted by sfc to insert my windows CD should I put the windows slipstream CD in with sp2, the original winxp(sp1) CD or the sp2 update CD? I'm asking this because shortly after running sfc I got a BSOD that didnt name any cause and the error codes were all 0's (stop (0x000000000, 0x00000000 etc...) I had to restore my computer to an earlier time. While going through the event log I saw where sfc had "repaired" several files.... "Windows File Protection scan found that the system file c:\windows\system32\drivers\nv4_mini.sys has a bad signature. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is 6.14.10.5673" |

Use the same CD used to originally install Windows XP.
In the situation you describe, you have no use for the slipstreamed SP-2 CD. Why would you need to uninstall SP-2? The slipstreamed CD reduces the chance of problems during installation and you are better off using that when you need to reinstall Windows XP. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "needlove" wrote in message ... hi, I ran sfc yesterday and put my original winxpoem(sp1) CD in when prompted.

Thanks for the reply. I did use the slipstream CD for one installation and
was plagued with a slightly corrupted registry that was messing up security permissions. I later found in the setuperr.log that a critical error had occured during setup. So, naturally I used the original CD this time and there was nothing in the setuperr.log. It could have been a freak occurance. I may try making another slipstream CD at some point.
