I have xp pro. SP1a Installed and SP2. (up to date all up dates)
The problem is I run tool (sfc /scannow) It asks me for SP2 cd now.
My version is SP1a and has worked up till the last release (FEB.2006)
Now it asks for SP2 cd when I run the tool.
How can I get a latest copy of SP2? not the 2004 release.
The latest version with all up dates for SP2 up to FEB.2006.
or will 2004 release solve this? It has never asked for SP2 before.
Why I ask this is because last set of updates (FEB.2006)
The system has started asking for SP2 O/S cd when running the tool
sfc /scannow It asks for it 2 time's in the scan now. SP1a disk works
for most of the scan,
But about half way through it ask's for SP2 disk. I can skip and
carry on the scan.
So it can not restore (WPFS) without SP2 cd now.
sfc /scannow has worked with SP1a disk till last update.
Do you think someone can release an updated cd of sp2 up to FEB. 2006?
This is the best tool to solve slow boot problems it has allways
worked for me.
I would like to solve this without buying a new O/S to run this tool.
Thanks for you time.
