Sorry to hear of the problems you are experiencing with your machine.
The Windows System File Checker can be a valuable tool.
The fact that it is asking you to insert the Microsoft XP installation disc means that you have protected system files that are missing ,damaged or in the wrong location. If you do not have a Microsoft XP installation disc then there are a number of workarounds.......
1 Have a look here and follow the links:

2 As an alternative suggestion. , just borrow the disc from a chum....The XP Pro SP 3 disc will do at a pinch if you don't have a chum with the media centre version.....
3 An XP installation disc is a most useful thing to have and with a little bit of effort you can make one.......just search for "Slipstream SP3" or "N lite"......however by far and awway the quickest solution is to borrow one from a chum...for the purpose of running SFC it's OK to do so.

Hi Paws,
Thanks for the welcome.
Thanks for the rapid response.
Went to the link shown. Some further varience to overcome yet.
When SFC pops up it's 'need to insert disk' there is no 'OK' that would lead to the asking for a 'location'.
Only get three choices, 'Retry, Information, and Cancel'.
Will probably need to find a place in the registry to add the I386 file location, and as of right now, don't where that is located. May be another way to direct SFC.to the I386 file, to C:\Windows\I386, but not aware of how as yet.
Thank You

Then if something is deleted or changed incorrectly, simply go to the C:\Windows\erdnt folder and pick the erdnt.exe wanted to restore the registry to it's state when it was backed up. This can even be done from the Recovery Console if needed.
