My System File Checker with XP SP2 doesn't seem to work. I type sfc /scannow and nothing happens.

I ran it from the command line to see what the error message was and it came up with this:


Windows File Protection could not make the requested change.

The specific error code is 0x000006ba [The RPC server is unavailable.].

Any ideas? I have enabled the RPC & RPC Locator services but still same error.

To make matters worse, my SP2 slipstream CD doesn't want to detect a previous windows installation to repair it? :rolleyes:

Maybe you didn't burn/build the CD correctly. I'll test at work and see what happens...

Thanks, but I tried that and it didn't work. :confused:
