windows file protection

[DaChew]

applying the full admin install of sp3 to windows xp seems to have improved what sfc /scannow is capable of

There is another location the Windows File protection service uses and that is the I386 folder in C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles When you install a service pack, like SP1. Any new system drivers are cached in this location too.

all is well my source paths are good, I just better not put in xpsp2 disk till i get it slipped

c:\windows\ServicePackFiles

My admin install of sp3 put a ServicePackFiles folder in the windows directory 569MB

Inside it is i386 folder, 561MB and a ServicePackCache folder
