I was trying to do my disk cleanup. During the process, I received a window that said, "Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your ___ now." There is a blank. It doesn't tell me what to insert. I'm afraid to put in my recovery disk because it will erase everything. Help?


When it makes that request, it wants the Windows XP CD that(usually) comes with your system, or the retail XP CD you bought.
