sfc /scannow errors

message from The Dude on 03 Jun 2004

If I run this windows file checker I get a message asking for XP SP1 CD
to be inserted into the CD drive but subsequently a following message
telling me it's the wrong disc.
I didn't install the SP from CD anyway(though I do possess a disc with
it on)but used the windows online updates page.
How can I fix the files that the scan is finding??

I'm wondering if related to this is a problem with ZoneAlarm which will
not uninstall due to validation failure of -
C:\\WINDOWS\system32\zonelabs\vsmon.exe

Any help much appreciated.

Go to run,type:regedit In regedit,expand,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
microsoft,windows,current version,set-up,then open source path.In
source-path,make sure the cdrom or dvd device has the same letter as
it is in my computer,if not,L.click the text,edit,modify,change letter,then close
out regedit.If its the same,in cmd type:Sfc /Scannow /REVERT
Both cmds,change settings back to default.

CD/DVD drive is F in My Computer,the registry folder contains -

default REG_ZS (value not set)
Bootdir REG_SZ C:\
CDINSTALL RED_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)
drivercachepath REG_EXPAND_SZ %systemroot%driver cache
Installation Sources REG_MULTI_SZ C:\Documents and
Setting\MYNAME\HDSP\DRIVER2.8 E:\AAO F:\

ServicePackCachePath REG_SZc:\windows\servicepackfiles\ServicePackCache
ServicePackSourcePath REG_SZ F:\
SourcePath REG_ZS F:\

There are 3 partitions on the machine C,D and E
FDD A.
And CD/DVD F
Sometimes I firewire a DVD writer,iirc that becomes "G" drive.
Can you further advise given this information as I'm not sure what is
what in the registry folder you had me navigate to.
Many thanks.
