SFC/scannow running on an XP Pro - SP3 system without a CD with XP Pro SP3 files can be used by SFC form

When I try to run SFC/scannow, XP Pro continues to ask for a CD that I don't have.  My XP installation included SP3, so I do not know why the system keeps insisting on CD.  I just downloaded SP3 on the MS site and installed it successfully, but still can't run SFC/scannow.  Ask for CD.  What can I do?  When I downloaded the SP3 from the Web site, I saved on a CD, but system says it's the wrong CD.  What is the good CD, or y at - there a way around this request

I answered my own question.  When I inserted my disk XP Pro w/SP3, it did not matter how many times I clicked retry.  However, I found a link on the Microsoft Web site for XP Home users with a similar problem.  See: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=897128.  Bulletin MS request home users to modify two files in chain, change the 'professional' at 'home '.  Even if I have XP Pro, I edited files string to do the same.  When I re-run SFC/scannow, he proceeded to check all the files on my computer successfully.  He sometimes do a break and made me hit try again about 10 times, but eventually finished the process in about 15 minutes.  Curious, but it does not work.

  • Satellite Pro A200-16N: can I use the recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

    HII!

    IM thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N and I ran the pre-upgrade of windows vista from microsoft website and it says that my system will be in charge of windows vista so im ok about it.

    The problem is that if my laptop was to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD provided by toshiba to work always on the laptop with windows vista?
    They will return the laptop for windows xp or from my laptop has another operating system they will not work?

    Also...
    What's the deal with BIOS? : S
    I don't understand!
    If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
    As I download the new drivers before upgrading Yes?

    Thank you!

    The restore CD will of course work.
    The recovery CD will always set the laptop back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HARD drive will be formatted and the image of Toshiba will be installed.

    > What's the deal with BIOS? I put t understand!
    > If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
    To my knowledge, that this laptop was already shipped with Vista, so you need not update the BIOS if you want to reinstall Vista.

    Some series Satellite A200 needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
    In such cases, it s advisable to upgrade the BIOS to version XP first, then install OS X.

  • Satellite Pro P300-26U - can I use a second HDD?

    Satellite P300 obligations food raid0 and double HARD drive. All models? Manual of 26U don't say a word on the subject. Model as P300-1BP has double HARD drive.
    Can someone help me? I want to buy a P300-26U in Italy.

    Thank you.
    Guido

    Hi mate,

    Who said that the Satellite Pro P300 takes supported RAID? AFAIK P300 series don't have RAID controller and in the specifications detailed on the Web from Toshiba site I can't find anything about this

    Satellite P300 it of only possible to use a second HDD if it has a second HARD drive connector. You can check it if you remove the second HARD drive. If you can see a second HARD drive connector, you can use a second HDD.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA: can I use faster and bigger HARD drive?

    So this may seem like a stupid question, but if I intend to spend of the installed 160 GB 5400 RPM HDD of the Satellite Pro A300 1EA to a 7200 RPM drive HARD (do not know the ability yet) and I was wondering how to make recovery disks (downgrade from Vista professional and XP Professional) coming with the work of the laptop with the HARD disk that does not part of factory as drives for my understanding restore the system...

    The size of the drive HARD replacement has something to do with the thing?
    If the replacement HARD drive is also 160 GB system see the difference? And even if it was smaller or larger the system see the difference?

    I have not even bought the laptop but will soon and it is a little urgent.

    Computer thanks Fellows ahead! :)

    * Oh... It seems that this question has already been answered... a little research has ever killed forum person huh... but if someone has vital information about the issue... Please let me know! :)*

    Hello

    I think that he should t be a problem with an upgrade to a faster and bigger HARD drive.
    But before you switch the HARD disk, you must create the Toshiba Recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
    After the recovery disk has been created, you can move the hard drives.

    Hello

    Have you already checked the BIOS? How much RAM show the BIOS?
    And what kind of modules you have exactly?

    Normally, it should be possible to use full 4 GB of RAM on a 64 bit OS as your laptop also supports 4 GB.

    Maybe you should also try updating the chipset driver. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

    My laptop works with old BIOS and I did not upgrade to update even if the new version has been released I didn't update because my camera is ok.
