Warning:
Do this only if you have manip more access to System Restore. It may alter the contents of your existing system restore points (or your System Restore) and thus frustrate an attempt to restore an uninfected or points thereof, if any,
This is essential if replacing a dll file, for example
I asked you to do a scan sfc / scannow --->
You must have "Administrator" rights to do that.
what is it?
First, it has info with the word itself!
sfc = System File Checker abbreviation
We already know more!
In fact the operation will check all the file system of XP, and check if they conform to the original content on the installation CD. That is why it is imperative to the XP installation cd ... (and I do not mean the recovery disc of PC brands!)
In fact, the scan will look in C: WINDOWS \\ System32 \\ Dllcache
This is a hidden folder. (Normally)
If the scan finds that all is well ... it asks for nothing! But if
worry, it will replace the corrupted file that appears, and will pick him up at the source install your original ----> in most cases the xp cd.
The best way to avoid the application of the CD is to have the install of XP on the hard drive, preferably another partition, and even a special partition for that! A bit like the hidden partition of branded PCs (but not hidden, well, yes if full crash is better!)
----> Type f: \\ I386 (the content will go to + / - 475 Megabytes)
The path to your install is hidden in this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\\ SOFTWARE \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ CurrentVersion \\ Setup \\ SourcePath
in case you decide to copy the I386 f:
the ---> SourcePath ---> will be defined simply ---> f: \\
in case of trouble with your sourcepath, watching as the key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SOFTWARE \\ Microsoft \\ Windows NT \\ CurrentVersion \\ SourcePath
both should be similar ...
f: \\
Concerns may also happen in case of trouble too, just because you install an additional hard disk drive or other, a mismatch letter is possible!
so check in Explorer.
Note:
-------------------
SFC / scannow it unusable restore points. Indeed, it sometimes occurs on DLL there.
If you have installed patches, changed files are placed directly in C: \\ WINDOWS \\ system32 \\ dllcache
(in addition to their normal location) so that the system File Protection (WFP) can immediately correct inappropriate alteration. Another copy is placed in c: \\ windows \\ $ hf_mig $ folder \\.
Now if you installed a service pack, the files are copied to C: \\ WINDOWS \\ ServicePackFiles
it is this value that indicates the location -----> SFC
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SOFTWARE \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ CurrentVersion \\ Setup ServicePackSourcePath

How do a scan sfc / scannow with XP Pro, SP1 or SP2.
1) Insert the CD-ROM Windows XP SP1 or SP2 in the drive while holding down the Shift key to prevent its automatic execution
2) Start / Run / type this:
sfc / scannow It
a space after the "c" in "sfc"
No space after the "/"
Please copy / paste it will be easier!
click ok ....
And wait, it may take some time ... like 10/20 minutes
Upon detection of a corrupted file ... if you don 'have not upgraded your cd, you have this:
The fact is that in practice .... he is able to request the cd to install sp1 or sp2 ... the walkthrough works, is to make a patched cd sp1 or sp2 .. .
Here is another link
Yet another link
The experiment is beyond the reach of a beginner .... unfortunately
Best is to have taken a ghost ... well, everyone did not buy the idea of Norton Ghost! I speak here
Note:
------------------
"for all XP users who have completed all SHIFT including SP2, but have their cd XP SP1, the System File Checker is refused! A shame that
crosoft have nothing scheduled in this case. should I buy the latest version of XP to do a sfc / scannow? "
source:
and" DO NOT use sfc / scannow if, like me, you have the installation CD XP SP1, and if you have the SP2 Update ... Windows will replace the SP1 files it can find (not all, but some will do a damn mess ...) from your CD SP1, and implement them in its library files instead of files "SP2" , "So it
what I said!
Same with those who were normal and install xp pro installed later on sp1!
I made it work!
