SFC Looking for WRONG CD

T

Thomas Cameron

Hello all,
I have a PC that I installed windows XP on. It has been acting VERY
strange, and now I am trying to repair it with SFC.

When I run SFC, it asks me for a CD Rom. I had created a slipstreamed CD,
but it has gone bad. I've remade a slipstreamed CD from the same original
source, but for some reason SFC does not like it. How can I fix this? If I
overwrite the dllcache with files from the new pristine CD, what risks do
I run?

Thanks in advance!
