SFC on a WinXp SP2 computer but SP1 CD

[MM]

Can you run SFC / Scannow on a PC with:
WinXP SP2 but my XP CD is SP1?????

Thanks in Advance MM

You would be better off slipstreaming your XP SP1 CD with the SP2 download
and then burning a new CD.

You need Autostreamer http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4444.html and Nero
or similar to slipstream either the SP2 CD or the SP2 full download from
Microsoft's website with the XP SP1 CD. I did it for my setup and it was
really easy.

Yes,
read step #2 it talks about changing the sourcepath,instead of looking at
your CD it will look in your i386 folder.

It also says there that you'll have to copy the i386 folder to your C:\
drive.

How to slipstream SP2 into XP
1...download SP2 from here
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/winxpsp2.mspx#EABCAA
2..go here for detailed instructions
http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/
look for Bootable Windows XP installation CD-Rom (with SP1)and sub SP2
for SP1

works great and easy

I tried the slipstream a while back and got a message that you can't
slipstream an already updated SP1 CD.

Will Autostreamer do this?

Odds are it is already there.

Use nLite to slipstream SP2 on to your existing cd.

If you don't already have the full SP2 file.... you can get it here:

I tried the slipstream a while back (using commandline Update.exe -S)
and got a message that you can't slipstream an already updated SP1 CD.

Did you try Autostreamer? Worked fine for me (with Nero)

Just wanted to make sure it will slipstream a SP1 CD
