Problem with SFC After Installing SP 2

[Guest]

Since installing SP 2, I can no longer run sfc /scannow. Wnen asked to
insert my original installation CD, I am told the version of Win XP
Professional on my PC is a newer version than on the CD. If I insert the SP
2 CD, I'm told it is the wrong CD. A Catch 22. What do I need to do to run
sfc /scannow?

Thanks, oldmountainman

Make a SP2 slipstreamed version of Windows XP.

Either one of the following utilities makes slipstreaming
(integrating) SP2 into Windows XP a breeze:
