sfc /scannow Asks for Windows XP PROFESSIONAL CD on Windows XP HOME

I have a problem running System File Checker where it asks for a Windows XP Professional CD when it finds a file it need to copy. The error message reads -

'Files that are required for Windows to run properly must be copied to the DLL Cache. 
Insert your Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 CD now.'

The installation is actually of Windows XP Home Edition SP3 (Slipstreamed) and inserting that CD does not work. Is there any resolution for this?

Hi Puppetworx,

 

Click Start -> Run & Type -> Regedit. Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup" Change the value in "SourcePath" to the location where you have your I386 files.

Hope this helps.

If not, read this it involves changing the word 'Professional' to 'Home' in two files; Fp40ext.inf and Ims.inf. Have a look here http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=897128
