May be you changed the wrong registry key. The source path key is :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup -
SourcePath

Ignore the message and point the sfc /scannow to the right Path for your i386
where you would like the Tool to look and repair your corrupt files/folders
if any found!.

Yes Larry if you want the System File Checker to Repair the
Mamaged/Corrupted Files/Folder on your system inseated of inserting the CD
(if you don't have it) just point the Command to the source file which I
assume is right and it will pick up from there.

When it prompts for the CD, I believe you click OK, and then you'll be
given the option to browse after the next prompt. I haven't tried it
with XP yet, but hope you're given that option.. that's how it works
with W98 machines.

Hello,
Sorry no browse option for Windows File Protection. It's running in the
system security context so browsing would have to be in the system security
context, which is considered a security risk.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Hello,
So have you installed the servicepack SP2? Or did you install a using the
slipstreamed share?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup -
Servicepacksourcepath
also needs to set if you installed the service pack separately
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
