Have you tried this. compliments of http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm Select S and scroll to Sp1

SP1 - System File Checker

Q. Will running an SFC /Scannow on an XP SP1 machine *keep* all updated system files (found only on the hard drive and *not* on the XP CD) and leave SP1 intact?

A. The updated files are in the folder Windows\ServicepackFiles. The ..inf files that tell SFC where to get copies from are modified so that for relevant files it goes there first.

One thing you can do (best if you have two CD drives) is to burn that folder complete to CD; then with go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup.

In the right pane, change the value of 'ServicePackSourcePath' accordingly; using the CD drive letter different from the original CD in 'SourcePath'. Then if files are needed you can have one CD in each drive.
