I ran this and it was asking for the CD "Windows XP Professional Server" to
copy dll-files to cache. The problem is that I run XP Home Edition so I have
no idea why it's asking for this server CD?
And my XP Home isn't reconized.
 
I cancel this and the search goes on. Next it pop's up again and ask this
time for the CD I have Home Edition. But the files doesn't seem to be found
and copyed to the drive. I hit try again but nothing happens only the search
goes on but no files are being copyed.
My CD-drive is fully working and I use same Home Edition CD as I installed
it on my PC.
 
Hi Nicoliani T

What's the Service Pack level of your system?

In the meantime, see this link helps.

You may be prompted to insert a Windows XP Professional CD when you run the
System File Checker tool in Windows XP Home Edition:

It still asks for my Home Edition CD for all PROFFESIONAL I have changed to
Home. What about the strings "Windows XP Server CD-ROM" Should I change this
to Home CD-ROM also?

Just noticed this from your original post:

Are the wordings exactly the same? There is nothing called "Windows XP
Professional Server".

It was probably some of this:
Windows XP Server CD-ROM
Windows XP Professional CD-ROM
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD

Make sure that the Windows Installation File Location is correctly set in
the registry.
For the exact registry locations, see the following article:
