Re: sfc /scannow

The updates after SP2 have nothing to do with sfc so forget about that
perceived problem.
Once SP2 is slipstreamed with original CD then the i386 file is good. It
shouldn't become corrupted unless you've meddled with it.

So are you guys saying that if I point to C:\I386 all file's should be
good
there and include the updates?
Is it possable that this file Can be corrupt?
or will this file (I386) allways be a good copy?
can I copy this I386 file to cd after say an up date and run check and put
this copy of I386 in instead?
Example D:\I386
Thanks for replys.

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.

Look at step 2 here:
