try you winpro first if the
slipstream actually works.

if not, then try you home edition,
if it actually will let you since winxp
home may not be backwards compatiable.

if nothing works, then you will
need to borrow someones winxp
pro and do the repair.

after the pc is up and running,
use something that will replace the
cd key with the one for your pc.

-- i have been trying for months to run sfc /scannow on my pc.
well i have made myself a slipstreamed xpsp2 (using autostream)and copied
the I386 folder from cd to c:\WINDOWS\
ServicePackFiles folder. no matter what i set windows sourcepath ,
windowsNTSourcepath , ServicePackSourcePath ,
or ServicePackCachePath to it still asks for the cd (cd-rom drive is
working).
i have tried e:\ (cd-rom drive) on everything and c:\ (HDD) still no luck.
in my c:\WINDOWS\inf folder i got a " FP40 ext.inf file" that when i
open
its got "WK_CD_NAME=" Windows xp Professional cd_rom" and SP_CD_NAME =
"WINDOWS XP professional servicepack 2 cd" if i changed professional to
home
(which is what i got) would that help me to run my sfc /scannow?
would it hurt anything?

thanks much
larry
