thanks for your reply , i sure do appreciate it. would like to try that iso buster deal , but this old man does not have the bucks right now.
i have already made three CDs using autostream and they seem to alright.
below is a question i sent to a mvp at microsoftnews group a while back ,
he said that when i made the slipstream CD it turn my system into xp pro and sfc /scannow would never work . would you take a look and tell me what you think?
any help would be appreciated
thanks

i have been trying for months to run sfc /scannow on my pc.
well i have made myself a slipstreamed xpsp2 (using autostream)and copied
the I386 folder from cd to c:\WINDOWS\
ServicePackFiles folder. no matter what i set windows sourcepath ,
windowsNTSourcepath , ServicePackSourcePath ,
or ServicePackCachePath to it still asks for the cd (cd-rom drive is working).
i have tried e:\ (cd-rom drive) on everything and c:\ (HDD) still no luck.
in my c:\WINDOWS\inf folder i got a " FP40 ext.inf file" that when i open
its got "WK_CD_NAME=" Windows xp Professional cd_rom" and SP_CD_NAME =
"WINDOWS XP professional servicepack 2 cd" if i changed professional to home
(which is what i got) would that help me to run my sfc /scannow?
would it hurt anything?
