    My Acer PC came with preconfigured CD's, not an XP CD. I believe I have a corrupted Windows system file, but when I run sfc the utility tells me to insert my XP CD to replace damaged files. None of my preconfigured CD's works; each results in a "you have inserted the wrong CD" message. Acer tells me to point sfc to a subdirectory on the C:\ drive where those files are stored. Unfortunately sfc gives me no option to point to a directory on the hard disk. My only option is to insert the XP CD or skip the file. Not surprisingly, copying the correct subdirectory to a CD did not work. Does anyone know an sfc command that will allow me to point the utility to a directory on the hard drive for the proper .dll's? Thanks.
