Re: MS Backup

Okay, I had to go to bed too:) Now, no cd is nothing to worry about. The
reason you don't have that entry in your registry is because you don't have
an upgraded version of xp pro, so that fix won't work.
You do have the ability to run the sfc /scannow without the cd.

First, and I should have had you so this right off, check your event viewer.
Go to Start>admin tools>event viewer>system tab. You are going to see
yellow and red error indicators. I'm only interested in the red ones right
now.
Double Click on the first one in the list that coincides with about the
time you had this problem. An information box is going to open, it will
have an event ID number as well as limited info on the error, and it will
have a hyperlink that I want to click on. That will open an article with
more info. Copy and paste that to this thread.

Okay, back to the no cd issue.
You may have an image of your sfc ( system file check) on your hard drive.
To read about how to find it, if it's there, click the link,

Some of the files may be hidden, so in order to see them, right click the
start button, click on explore, then on the toolbar click Tools>folder
options>view> then remove the check next to 'hide protected operation system
files, and place a check next to show hidden files and folders.
