I bought a new pc about 3 years ago, I have a problem installing a download
from microsoft. I have been advised that running (sfc /scannow) may help
solve my problem.
However when running this programme i am asked to use a windows xp home
edition installation disc. I never received a disc with my computer and an
earlier version does not work. It is a genuine version of xp on my computer
,The company I purchased it from N.E.C. is a reputable company.where can I
get a disc to try fixing my problem.
Thank you brian (Nireman)
