Windows File Protection Error - Please Advise!

[crayme]

I recently built an Unattended Windows XP CD, along with all of the Apps I needed and the hotfixes etc..

Everything installs and looks flawless, until I seemingly randomly get a popup window with the following message:

"Windows File Protection Error, files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by an unrecognized version, to maintain system stabality, Windows must restore the original version of these files, insert your Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD now."

I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening, I followed the guide precisely and used a legit licensed copy of XP and slip streamed SP2 into it.

The only solution I can seem to think of is to add 'SFC /SCANNOW" to the end of my batch.cmd file so it does a thorough check after my install, but that adds at least another 10 minutes to my installs. This kind of defeats the purpose of this whole project of saving time for me.

Anyone else experience this that can please assist me in resolving this problem?

Thanks in advance!

You using any hacked files or anything?

No, all I used was Nlite to write the Unattended.txt file, which I renamed to WINNT.SIF, added in my hotfixes along with Qchain. Really not using anything other than what Unattended guide called for.

This is driving me nuts atm, so if anyone has any idea what would be causing this, please assist.

I have also encountered problems with SFC and still dont know what to do...

Try a clean CD with no nLite and see what happens.

Same error here, original cd is 100% ok.

After making unattended cd I get this error. (often during/after installing software)

Any solutions yet?

I think you either need to disable SFC or update its file list so that it thinks your new version files are the original. Unattended install may use different files.

Does this only occur when installing third party drivers? If true and SP2 was slipstreamed, there appears to be no workaround. (except for disabling WFP) Sorry.

click ignore. it usually happens when you use an unsigned driver. i got that problem with a normal cd and my sata drivers disk. told it to ignore and it ran fine.
