| 683801 | 2008-06-30 04:57:00 | Don't laugh at me but how do I do this "copy this onto your hard drive into the system root" in newb language if you can please. I am trying to copy the file I386 from xp disc to hdd so I can run sfc /scannow. Thanks. | jebby (4580) | ||
| 683802 | 2008-06-30 05:12:00 | Just put the cd in, you dont have to copy anything | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 683803 | 2008-06-30 05:17:00 | Just means, copy it to C: or whatever your boot drive is called (the one where your operating system is, e.g. XP ), not into a folder. (E.g The bottom level (the 'root') of your system drive (usually C: )) :thumbs: Yep, easier, Speedys way :thumbs: :thumbs: |

| 683804 | 2008-06-30 05:22:00 | Thanks for the reply Speedy, but I should have said that I have had the computer in for repairs & they loaded a later version of xp. Now when I try to run "scannow" off my disk I get a message, "a later xp version is installed" I can see the I386 file on the disk , how do I copy it to my HD. | jebby (4580) | ||
| 683805 | 2008-06-30 05:26:00 | The I386 is a folder there's files in it. And most of the files on there need to be extracted for them to run (theyre compressed). But if you want to copy them, highlight the folder and selct right mouse /copy them to a folder on the hdd. But I doubt any of them will run. |

| 683806 | 2008-06-30 05:31:00 | feersumendjinn, when you say just copy it to c:\ do you mean copy & paste, or am I up the wrong tree. Thanks for the help. | jebby (4580) | ||
| 683807 | 2008-06-30 07:43:00 | (E.g The bottom level (the 'root') of your system drive) Tree roots may be at the bottom level, but the 'root' of any system is at the top That's why it's called "root privileges" |

Tree roots may be at the bottom level, but the 'root' of any system is at the top That's why it's called "root privileges"Why dont you answer jebby's question instead of arguing with me, even if you are right, it's easier for a newby to visualise, don't confuse the guy :D |
