Hi, I have this what seems like common issue with SFC /Scannow where it keeps asking me for my Windows disk. Now I read most people have this problem with SP2 install disk and need to use nlite to slipstream the latest SP3 pack into XP install image or iso (not sure) and then burn to disk and use the newly burned disk when prompted by SFC.

My problem is SFC keeps asking me to insert my disk. I have a Win XP SP3 install disk, the same one I used to install XP. I don't know if there is anything I need to slipstream into my XP SP3 install to get SFC working but I need this issue fixed.

IF it asks for a disk and you have a disk put the disk in the drive when it asks.

When SFC asks for a disc when already have a disc in there, it is just telling you that you have a newer file on the computer then the one on the disc, if you press Enter, it will continue scanning. It may come up several more times, unless you have a disc with all your current updates on it.

But what if the newer files damaged (or worst, infected)? Isn't sfc supposed to overwrite it with the original (older) files?

If the file was damaged, it would be overwritten. As long as there is a newer working file on the computer it will not overwrite it.
