Hi, I am just seeking a little clarification before I need it. Originally,
after the purchase of my computer I was able to "run" sfc using the CD that
came with the computer without a problem. I could also use the disk to
restore my computer to its original condition. At some point, I believe SP1
was installed by automatic update and sfc still worked with no problem. When
SP2 was installed I found that during a "run" of sfc, I received a dialog
stating a later version of XP was found on my computer and sfc would not run
without the disk for XPSP2, which I naturally did not have at the time. I
also could not use the original disk to restore XP to its original state.
After a couple of weeks I was able to produce a "slipstreamed XP & SP2
disk". However, to run "sfc" I found that the process required the original
disk for XP and the slipstreamed disk (XP & XPSP2) at different times, to
complete the run. I have installed SP3 and now my computer only asks that I
provide the original disk for files when it needs a file to complete the
"sfc" process.
QUESTION - Does all of the above mean SP2 & SP3 has no longer changed any
system files and a slipstreamed (combined) disk is no longer needed, except
to re-install XP updated to SP3? Or, are those previously changed files by
SP2 with the install of SP3 now being skipped by "sfc" during a system file
check?
Sorry the post is long, thanks for any info.
