when I try to run sfc /scannow from command prompt, it keeps asking to have cd reinserted, though cd is in drive. I have no problems with cd drive otherwise

An incorrect "SourcePath" entry in the REGISTRY is the likely culprit. If
you are
familiar with registry editing, and have backed it up in case of XP
failure, point that path to the CD drive letter used when XP was installed.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]

As an example, the SourcePath entry shown here is, simply, H:\

Ignore SourcePath entries for specific programs.
