    In the HelpwithWindows article on the System File Checker Tool
    http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/howto-24.html
    it is suggested to change the SourcePath in Registry to C:\ (where the I386 folder resides).
    What about the ServicePackSourcePath? Should that also be changed to C:\?
    (In my case both Source Paths were set by WinXP to the CD-ROM directory.)
    I understand the purpose of such change(s) is
    1) To avoid having to use the WinXP CD, and perhaps more importantly
    2) So that using SFC /SCANNOW will refer to the latest files rather than those on the WinXP CD.

    Hey Jim, I ran into some trouble on this hack, see my post "Arie's Registry Hack" I posted a few minutes ago before I saw yours.

    Take Care,

    Martin
