| 204831 | 2004-01-02 09:42:00 | Hi 45south, The first option sounds the least likely. Like to explain in detail? (laymans terms) Cheers |

| 204833 | 2004-01-02 09:49:00 | Well I just used the second option. I had been meaning to creates a slipstreames XP anyway. SFC /SCANNOW doesn't work with that one either. The CD Boots OK but using Terrey's solution of pushing retry repeatly I got through it. Looks like SFC may be broken with SP1 | Elephant (599) | ||
| 204834 | 2004-01-02 16:20:00 | Yah. I found it. Read this and find out how to do it: here (www.updatexp.com) Rebooted and sfc /scannow ran straight through. Phew. |

| 204835 | 2004-01-02 18:56:00 | A really excellent site with explanation Sparky. Also what it means is that unlike Win98, where I used to run sfc all the time to check for changed or corrupted system files, you dont really need to run sfc in XP unless the system has got into a real mess. the Windows Protection system is monitoring whats going on all the time and preventing unauthorised system files being written. Also "authorised" updates and hot fixes from MS that put in new system files wont get overwritten by the original system files from the XP CD. |
