What file set does SFC use to verify system files after install of SP2?

[dgsam]

My system seems to be running well but as IE has had to close because of
errors a couple of times lately I thought I should run system file checker
(sfc /scannow) but when I put my XP Pro CD into the CD drive as prompted SFC
reported that the CD was "a different windows.product CD than the version
installed". I assume this is because I have installed SP2 but I don't know
how to supply SFC with the file set it needs to use as reference to check
the files currently used by Windows. I tried burning a copy of the i386
folder (from C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\) to CD as I thought that would
provide the proper filepath from the CD drive and the proper files/versions
but SFC didn't fall for that trick for one second. (in its place I would
have fallen for it in a heartbeat)

No, SFC still uses the Windows CD. Files that have been updated are
stored on the HDD (folder WINDOWS\SERVICEPACKFILES). The SFC
automatically uses the newest file available.
