Need to reinstall XPSp2, no CD's.

[Guest sue]

Hi, I got a message that says" Files that are required for Windows to run

properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.To maintain system

stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert

your Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 CD's now".

I dont think I have any CD's for that. I Believe I downloaded it from the

website. Help. Also the website gave me the Error 0X800A1385 when I tried

to check there for whatever automatic updates have been installed recently.

While reading here on the many questions, I found there is a SP#3 Ugh...????

The process is looking for the CD with WinXP with SP2 integrated into the

installation CD.

 

Depending on where you got your PC you may or may not have the CD. Some

systems, such as Dell, come with a restore partition to make your system

look like it just came out of the box (and deleting everything in the

process). Others come with restore CDs that are an image and will restore

your PC like Dell's restore partition.

 

In any event, look for a folder on your drive called i386, most likely in

the root of C: (c:\i386) This could probably be used instead of the actual

install CD.

 

Good Luck
