Default Missing Folder

I have been trying to run the sfc command. I was being
prompted for hte XP Pro SP2 CD. I was directed to copy
the files from the WINDOWS\ServicepackFiles folder to a
CD. There is no such folder on my machine. What should
I do now?

When prompted for the XP Pro SP2 CD, what happens if you just put your
Windows CD into the CD drive?

Never mind. I was putting the disc in the wrong drive.
The registry entry for the ServicePackSourcePath was set
to the F: drive. I just tried it in that drive and it
seems to be working.

Then there's something more to the story -- Service Pack 2 will not be
released until June.
