How to get WPF (Windows File Protection) to recognize the SP2 CD? Ok heres whats going on: 1. I created a bootable slipstreamed XP SP2 CD. 2. Rebooted and formatted C:\. 3. Installed XP SP2 and everything going fine until I accidently del a needed windows file then Im prompted with this: ---------------------------- box 1-------------------------------- Files that are required for windows to run properly....etc Insert your Windows Professional Service Pack 2 CD now. ------------------------------------------------------------------- so I insert the CD I slipstreamed myself and click Retry button and lo and behold the dreaded msg: --------------------------- box 2 ------------------------------- The CD you provided is the wrong CD. Please Insert the Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD into your CD-ROM drive. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I click ok and insert the CD in my other CD-RW drive (H:)...same msg so I make sure this registry entry is pointing to the correct drive letter: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\ ServicePackCachePath = I: ServicePackSourcePath = I: SourcePath = I: where I: = my regular CD-ROM player. looked in Windows dir an see newly created setupapi.log -------------------------------------------------------------------- [setupAPI Log] OS Version = 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Platform ID = 2 (NT) Service Pack = 2.0 Suite = 0x0000 Product Type = 1 Architecture = x86 [2004/09/10 02:07:43 444.26] #-199 Executing "\??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe" with command line: winlogon.exe #-167 SPFILENOTIFY_NEEDMEDIA: Tag = "\win51ip.sp2", Description= "Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD", SourcePath = "I:\i386", SourceFile = "muisetup.exe", Flags = 0x00000000. #E169 SPFILENOTIFY_NEEDMEDIA: returned FILEOP_ABORT. Error 1223: The operation was canceled by the user. #W187 Install failed, attempting to restore original files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ these files: WIN51 WIN51IP WIN51IP.SP2 are on the root of the CD. peeking at the WIN51IP.SP2 file with a hex editor I see: 0D0A and it matches the Idents found in the xpbootfiles.zip I'm out of ideas here, tryed reburning and putting different labels to no avail. Thanks for your help
