I tried running sfc /scannow after updating to SP1 but the program asks me
for the installation CD. Am i supposed to put in the original XP CD? Wouldn't that look for the old files, instead of those updated by SP1? Is there a way around it?

I installed XP from my hard drive because it was faster, and before SP1, i
was never asked for the installation CD. I assumed that sfc was able to
locate the install directory. Now, how can i direct sfc to the install
directory of SP1 since i only downloaded it from the net, and it is not in a
CD yet.

Some program have the option to change that ;)

Windows Power tools, Customizer XP and I think the new Tweak-XP too :lol:

Run Regedit and change this

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

and look for the key called SourcePath.

Change this key's value to your hard disk path off the i386 folder---- like d:\i386

Greets

The path checks out right. but sfc still asks for the CD. :unsure:

Hum.............

I have now the same problem as xplorer :o

I don't know if windows update is in case ???????

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion is OK and the program always ask me for the CD :angry:

I have do this in the past and all was ok, I have an XP cd with the SPI inside

Please help me

Thanks

All is ok now ;)

@xplorer

Check here and change the 1 for 0 :lol:

Allocate the CD-ROM for local user only:
("AutoFix" Available)

Go to 'Start | Run' and enter "Regedt32." From the Registry Editor go to menu item 'Window | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.' Within the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE window navigate to the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.' Double click on "allocatecdroms:REG_SZ:0" and change the string to 1 and hit OK.

This value entry satisfies, in part, the C2 security requirement that you must be able to secure removable

This is the same trick for floppies :D

Thanks for the fix- been pulling my hair out over this one since it came up :D

Did one better.... mage a reg file and distributed it to clients- at least one of them will have a perm copy!!

I have this problem again and I can't fix it this time :o

Windows always ask me for the good CD :angry:

I have XP with SP1 integrated. Now I can I fix this again ?
