If you have a store or authorized retail version computer (IE..BEST BUY< CIRCUIT CITY, WAL-MART..etc.) you only have one Xp disk. You only have three options at this point. 1) just hit cancel several times to finish the scan. 2.) Take your computer into the store and have customer service do the complete scan for a fee ( cost $50 - $75 ) or 3) purchase the complete Win XP pro SP3 boxed set. Cost ABT. $350.00. The cause is the OEM disk that your Gateway, E-machine and the like computers do not have the E-Home files that SFC is looking for. Microsoft did not license the full version of the software to OEM installs of the OS. You only got the full version disk set if you bought your computer directly from the manufacturer so they say. Yes you are correct. System file checker could never give you a complete scan as promised. There is a way to get it to do it IF your system backup files are not corrupted on your D: drive which is hidden from the average prying eyes. You will have to do some registry changes to redirect SFC to look for these files in that location and not on the CD. Just think. You would never known this until it was to late.
