System file checker is asking for pro CD when I have home

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I just did a clean install of Windows XP home SP2. The original CD came with
SP2. When I perform a SFC /scannow It keeps asking for the Windows XP pro SP2
CD. If I insert the original CD or even an XP home CD with SP2 on it I keep
getting the message that It can't find the files and I have to click cancel.

By the way, is there any way short of reboot to stop SFC?
