Windows XP SP3 I386 Lang Folder 18: Tips and Tricks for Optimizing Your System



There have been some issues with running SFC.EXE /SCANNOW that this article doesn't address. They are:1) The system won't accept the original installation disk because it doesn't have Service Pack 2 on it.2) You don't have a Windows installation CD - only a restore CD from the manufacturer.Here's how to deal with them:__________________________________________________________________________To fix the SP2 issue, you'll have to "slipstream" SP2 along with your installation CD. Rather than going through all the gory details here, just visit this link: _slipstream.asp It provides a detailed explanation of how to slipstream SP2 along with your Windows installation CD.__________________________________________________________________________To fix the problem when you only have a restore CD you'll have to search for a folder on your hard drive (or on the restore CD) that's named "i386" (without the quotes). Once you find that, copy it to your hard drive at the root (C:\i386). Make sure that the directory is located at the root of your C: drive (C:\i386) - if not, then you'll need to change the path to the proper entry in the registry edit.Then perform this registry edit to point SFC.EXE at it:So, the first step is to backup your registry. The easy way to do this is to set a System Restore point ( )Next, go to Start...Run...and type in "regedit.exe" (without the quotes) and press enter. You'll see a folder-like view on the left, and entries on the right.Navigate down the folder view on the left to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup Just click on the + sign to expand the view of the next level - so, to start, you'll click on the + next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and look for the SOFTWARE entry.Then you'll click on the + next to SOFTWARE and look for Microsoft, and so on until you get to the Setup key. Then just click once on the Setup key. Look in the right hand pane and double click on the entry that says "SourcePath".In the box that pops up, type in "C:\" (without the quotes) and press Enter. Then close regedit and reboot your computer. SFC.EXE /SCANNOW should now run without problems for you.___________________________________________________________________________If you're unable to find the i386 folder, it may be that it's on a hidden partition on your hard drive or that the restore CD has been created in a different way and you can't view the directories.If so, there's a couple of more things to try (please post your question in the forums) or you can look to see if your system has a repair or a non-destructive recovery option. This option will leave your programs and data intact while replacing all of the Windows files. This is also the next step if SFC.EXE /SCANNOW doesn't fix the problem.

From the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, open a GPO that applies to all the computers on which you want to install the service pack. If you want to update every computer in the domain, use a GPO that's linked to the root of your domain; otherwise, select a GPO in an appropriate organizational unit (OU). In Group Policy Editor (GPE), navigate to Computer Configuration\Software Settings. Right-click the Software Installation folder and select New, Package. In the Open dialog box, type the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) name of the sp3 folder, then click Open to display the subfolders that were created when you extracted the service pack. Double-click the i386 folder, then open the update folder. You'll see the update.msi file, which contains all the information Win2K needs to install the service pack. Select update.msi and click Open. When Win2K asks whether you want to Assign the service pack or use Advanced options, select Assign and click OK.
