Re: sfc /scannow

It's weird that it still prompts. Something in your setup maybe is
different from the norm.
I wonder if you stick your slipstreamed (new) CD in at those prompts, what
it would do or say.
Later updates shouldn't have anything to do with this.
My slipstreamed CD was for my XP Home installation and sfc worked right
through 66 updates after SP2 with no problem & never once asking for the CD.
Now I'm on Pro I guess I have slipstreaming SP3 into my current CD to look
forward too, sometime next year.
Anyway, I'm lost at this point, so good luck!!

Yes that's what I did copyed the i386 from the slipstream CD to C: I
checked
all paths to make sure they point to the right location the scan gets half
way through and prompts for xp pro CD sp2. I can skip the first prompt
then
it asks again I can skip the seconded prompt then it runs all the way
through
and finishes. so as I said before this never did this until the last set
of
updates FEB. 2006. I think that it may be I need to add the FEB. updates
to
the stream it may fix the problem or not. I am not sure of what to do now.
I
guess I could try another stream to see if the i386 was corrupted some
how.
But I got all green checks. thank you for you help I would have never got
this far without it, Note: the scan works from the drive just like it was
when pulling it from the cd so I know the paths are right. I did have to
change the NT path as well it was pointing to D:\I386 I changed it to C:\
or
it would ask for xp pro sp2 cd at the get go.

i386 from the ISO? Not sure that would work correctly. You should find
the
i386 folder on the new slipstreamed CD and copy it to C:
I just did a Start Search i386 on my CDRW drive which is J in my case.
Right clicked it and clicked "copy" then went to C: in Windows Explorer
and
clicked "paste". You don't have to make a folder in advance.

Ok I guess you dont under stand my origninal copy is a sp1a release OEM
XP
Pro. I built the computer my self it's been running for 3 years. it has
all
update's that you can get for sp2 installed (all update's). I used the
original CD and a downloaded copy of sp2 to do the stream like you
posted. I
got all green checks. I burned the ISO image, I copyed the I386 from
new
ISO
to C:\I386, I changed the path to point to C:\ and also the
servicepackfiles
path C:\servicepackfiles. It still asks for sp2 CD to replace
unreconnized
.dll files. I don't know what else to say my friend I have tryed. It
asks
for
a sp2 cd two time durring the scan about half way through. It did this
same
thing before the stream and after this did not start till the last set
of
updates for FEB.2006.

P.S. You say you slipstreamed SP1a with SP2....that is wrong.
SP2 contains all updates from the day XP was released.
Ignore SP1a.
You slipstreamed CD should only incorporate your original CD that came
with
your machine and SP2.

I don't think you understand. You do NOT need any updates to make
your
slipstreamed CD other than SP2. Repeat, you ONLY need SP2!! You do
NOT
need to slipstream any other updates at all as SP2 included ALL
updates
prior to its release! Any updates after that are irrelevant to
using
sfc
/scannow. You must have them installed on your machine of course,
but
as
far as this CD is concerned they don't matter at all.
In other words all you need is your original installation CD that
came
with your computer and the SP2 download, you then slipstream both of
those
into a new CD.
You then copy the i386 folder from the NEW CD to your system drive
which
should be C:
Follow the instructions exactly as they are here to slipstream:

http://www.simplyguides.net/guides/using_autostreamer/using_autostreamer.html

or here:

http://www.simplyguides.net/guides/slipstream_sp2/slipstream_sp2.html

You then have to set your registry as shown here:

Making sure your "ServicePackSourcePath" AND "SourcePath" are both
reset
to C:

I have copyed the ISO (I386 folder) that I made to C:
I have copyed it to a cd and made change to souce path to D: and C:
I have tryed both ways it still prompts for sp2 cd.
Can anyone tell me what two KB's (updates)
need to be slipstreamed into my cd to get sfc /scannow to work?
sp1a has been slipstreamed with sp2 and still asks for sp2 cd.
I have done it right. man alive they need a full update
of sp2 to correct this problem.

It shouldn't be if you've done this right.
Go to Start/Run enter regedit and press enter.
Go to Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Setup

Modify "Service Pack Sourcepath" to read C: (assuming your
installation is
on C:)

Also modify "Sourcepath" to C:

Close registry editor and it should work.

I have made the disk with slipstream sp1a cd plus sp2 download
that
all
went
fine but when I run the tool it still asks for sp2 cd. Two
times
durring
the
scan using this new iso image.

Will I have to add every update after 2004 sp2 (winows
xp-kb835935-sp2-enu.exe) to this new iso image? please test
what I
am
saying
so you can see it for your self.
Thank you for your time.

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:
