How I have a missing file of the system xp without a disk system

I used (normal windows startup) sfc/scannow and was informed that I need to insert system disk to start the process.  I don't have a system disk, (using the service pk 3) my updates have been through Microsoft.  Is there a way to bypass or update (tried to fix with microsoft updates and ITMU) without the disc?

In addition to that said Daavee, here's the 'problem '...

If you have installed SP3 and you run sfc/scannow, it's going to need a source of files known "good" compared to what's on your system, then it wants to use your XP (default) installation CD, so if you have no genuine bootable CD to install XP with SP3 on it or use an older XP installation CD , things will be all out of whack since SC has no source file 'good' and sfc/scannow will complain - a lot.

Most of the people do not have a true bootable CD to install XP with SP3 top (unless they did themselves) or they have never even had a XP installation CD bootable real at all, so running sfc/scannow will generally be frustrating (besides a waste of time).  If someone suggested running sfc/scannow, they probably forgot to tell you that part or they do not know how sfc/scannow works in the first place.  For me, it's similar to saying "I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it.

If you happen to have a genuine XP bootable with a plu SP installation CD, you can use it to create a new genuine bootable XP installation CD with SP3 on it by a process called "integrated system".  Make sfc/scannow happy, but it is a separate project.

You will usually have a good "feeling" when SFC runs without complaining, but it is unlikely your problem not specified and you are going to need a true bootable XP with SP3 top installation CD to get that good feeling, which means that you have some work to do.

I would put that for later and for the moment, describe what your question is you think sfc/scannow will correct, unless you just practice.

  • How to have an XML file in the app and / or installation

    My application is an xml file that accompanies it (actually more than one) and contains data for the application

    We choose based on user input.

    Is it possible to have a resource file such as an xml file that is provided with the blackberry .cod file?

    I think of how you can put a java application needs resources in the java app jar file.

    If I can't do that, where these xml files should be?

    I see some file access described in the forum using the SD card.

    But obviously I don't want that, because these files xml are always necessary when the user starts the application.

    These files are part of the application, they should not be changed by the user.

    How would this work?

    Thank you!!

  • How can I move files to the system folder?

    Hi all

    I was wondering how to move files to the system folder. With the update to El Capitan and the former program is no longer works and the developer suggests moving some files on the system folder that should fix it, but even if an administrator account I don't have write access to the system-> library folder where they need to go. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Steve

    In short: you do not have. The folder/System is only for Apple.  The new protections in El Capitan make it impossible for you to place the files.

    This is what the folder/library for: install additional components to the system, but keeping them separated from the basic installation.

    What software are you trying to run? What files we told you to move? I'm curious to know what type of developer will tell you to put the files in / System.

  • How to pin folders and files to the taskbar?

    I have a few updates from XP to Windows 7.  How to pin folders and files to the taskbar?  I got a lot of these in my XP Quick Launch bar.

    Mike

    PIN Windows Explorer in the taskbar and you can right click to get your recently viewed files.

    You can also add toolbars to the taskbar.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/add-a-toolbar-to-the-taskbar

    A toolbar can be any folder in Windows Explorer. So you can put any selection of files to a user created folder and access these files quickly thanks to a simple icon in your taskbar.

    However, don't go overboard you can quickly run out of space on the taskbar. My toolbars are interspersed between the program pinned to the taskbar, tasks and links with the Noification area to the right. The section of the program will go to a second line below according to the needs and so you can limit the space allocated to programs if you wish.

  • How I have a zip file to send by post?

    Hello... How I have a zip file to send by post?  I've never had to do this. After trying to find an answer in the questions already answered for an hour, I ask you now your forum. I have to be the first to do not know since when I tried to find an answer already given, this forum could do was to send hundreds of responses as 'open' and this I know how to do. Just never got to compress and send what it seems that zipping and sending is more difficult. I hate to be the one who dosent know. MY point dragging all this is probably a second question. Why send hundreds of questions answered on how 'open' a zip file when I entered the question how I have a zip file to send an e-mail? Now, the answer is maybe, if so why mix them all together? Look at a third question perhaps. Seems that this site could be a bit better than it is. Ive already had some problems in the past and I really hate coming here more. As this forum can occupy, but I really hate wasting my worst time, like trying to sort through the already answered, which are not relevant. Well ive SALE now.  The only answer (if any) should be to the question 'how I have a zip file to send an e-mail? Thanks in advance. Oh yes before im ask you here are the answers.  Windows 7 HP service pack, to date, IE 9, MSE and MSE on machine. Never Norton or any other. Build the home with paid software OEM no Micromoney. And I know that you don't need this becausse there no of Pétain, but im allways ask. And I don't think you need this email I use but incase his need, G mail.      scare0340

    In Solution Explorer, find the file, click rt > Send to > compressed (zipped) folder

  • Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not the Lightroom Catalog) from one external drive to another?

    How to restore backed up files (not the lightroom catalog) from one external drive to another.

    I've recently saved my photo files to one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy clone) pointed out some files corrupt on the original drive.

    I deleted these files and find good copies of Time Machine backups.

    I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main outside and then save it to a new disc.

    I'm not sure how everything is point lightroom for backups so he knows look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all points of exclamation and question marks go away.

    There are close to 60 000 images in several files with a 'parent folder."

    My best guess is Lightroom Help - create and manage folders - locate missing files

    Can I point to the folder of one of their parents, and all of the subfolders will return?

    This is the process for recovering files in lightroom and there will be a problem with so many photos?

  • How can I transfer a file from the operating system to a backup of the production running VM virtual machine?

    Problem:  After I do a backup one using ghettoVCB on a local VMFS volume, I have a virtual machine that I can start something happened to that running.  However, sometimes I just need a file from the OS level, which means that I would need to start to get them, but then I have an IP address conflict.  I can't imagine a way to have the NICs turned off and still be able to move the file.  If I change the IP addresses, the software that I need to create the file that I need to transfer no longer works because, although there no need of constant connectivity to the seller, it is locked to the public IP address.http://communities.vmware.com/images/emoticons/sad.gif

    Material:  I have two 4 ESXi hosts to work, each with local VMFS volumes.  They share a private vlan common and a vlan common public.  They each ssh, ftp, wput, wget, and rsync available.  I have a Windows 2003 Server VM which also hosts a NFS and the VI client and other VMWare tools.  It also has private and public interfaces as do virtual machines that would be to make and receive the OS files.

    Question:  How can I transfer a file from the operating system to a backup of the production running VM virtual machine?

    Thank you!

    Yes Mr President, make sure you set the network on this virtual machine to be connected to the 'Internal' vswitch, you set up before turning the power on to the virtual machine.
