    i just built a new P4 system and installed WinXP Pro

    when i installed WinXP Pro i set up my drives as

    DVD-rom - primary ide master
    CD-RW - primary ide slave

    but later after winxp was installed I changed it to

    DVD-rom - primary ide master
    CD-RW - secondary ide master

    now when i run sfc.exe it prompts me for my winxp pro cd and says system files need to be copied to dll_cache for it to run but when i put in the winxp cd into either of the dvd-rom or cd-rw drives it still doesn't recognise winxp cd

    it says either the cd-rom drive isn't working or wrong winxp cd ?

    i know the drives are working cause it can run winxp cd's setup and boot cd as boot up fine

    the only thing i have done lately is flashed the dvd-rom to a region free firmware

    any ideas ?

    Check the values of ServicePackSourcePath and SourcePath in:

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Setup\

    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\

    You could also point those to the location of the i386 folder on your hard drive....
