I believe it's as follows:
SP3ExecutableFileName.exe -x:C:\sp3
-x is eXtract switch
C:\SP3 will be the folder where the extracted files and subfolders are
stored
Once again, I am not sure if sfc /scannow will accept SP3 extracted files.

I'm a novice, here, but is "extracting" to my hard drive a different
process
than running the installation? I'm assuming yes -- how do I "extract"
without
installing? I'd rather not have to reinstall the entire SP3 and risk all
sorts of issues.
Perhaps, I can extract to a folder and burn it to a CD. The sfc /scannow
program does not allow you to browse your computer for a file(s) -- it
looks
to the CD drive and that's it.

When asked for a CD, point it to the folder where you extract SP3.

After a recent problem with a virus, I'm using sfc /scannow to try to
identify and replace changed versions of Windows system files. The
scan
is
finding changed files and keeps asking me for "Windows XP Professional
Service Pack 3 CD." I don't have one and as the service pack is
downloaded
from Microsoft, I don't believe there is one. All I could find from
Microsoft is a download for SP3 that makes an image CD. I tried this
and
it
doesn't work. There's no way to continue the sfc scan without
inserting
the
proper disk. Can anyone help?
