Hi I have Windows XP and I just ran Scannow. It updated my service pack 2 updates from my Windows XP OS CD, but since my computer has service pack 3 it stopped and asked for the Windows XP OS CD with service pack 3. I do not own. Does MSFT offer a work around for this please. I have been told by MSFT tech support that the amount of time the window pops up asking for the cd is the number of corrupt files I have on my system. I counted 27 pop ups. Please MSFT where is the answer!
If the answer is to make a new CD with service pack 3 on it, please only tell me this if you have tried it and it was successful already, I have read it will not be accepted as a Windows OS CD for this process.
Lastly, is there a way to have the service pack 3 in a folder on C: as an I386 folder?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Acutally I am wondering if I need to create (2) I386 folders under C: for both service packs (2 and 3), or do I need to only use service pack 3 for the I386 folder?
My logic tells me I need both b/c when I run scannow it asks for the OS CD for both service pack 2 and 3 separately.
It would be good to hear from someone who has successfully done this.
Hi,
You can download directly or order a CD from the TechNet site below:
