sfc /scannow cant find downloaded sp1a files

[Nick]

sfc /scannow wants files from the sp1a CD. I downloaded
sp1a so I do not have a cd. How do I move the download
to a CD, or make the sp1a files available to sfc.

They should be in -C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\I386.

You should be able to type in the address, in SFC

You can also change the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
key to point to the directory (like ServicePackFiles) that you want it to
look in and have better success.
