Windows File Protection (WFP)

[doonboggle]

I'm trying to slipstream about 70-80 updates into my XP PRO SP2 student version. I then burn the iso file onto a cd-rw disk and install onto my 'practice' drive; "D".

Once complete, along with a couple of minor 'bugs' that I think I can clean up by re-doing the process, I get a problem I cannot seem to solve.

I get the message, regarding Windows File Protection (WFP) saying " .... replaced by unrecognized versions ..."; and it asks for the SP2 disk. I have a SP2 disk but the process will not accept it. While I click on "Cancel", it only for that boot time works. Next time booted, same thing occurs.

I've googled this problem and come across a lot of hits ... but no definitive corrective means.

Has anyone experienced this before?

It's obvious that one of the installed update files is the cause of the problem ... because ... without the slipstream, the original installation works fine; and have also in the past, installed the plethora of updates via Microsoft Update process.

But I'd sure like to have a working slipstreamed version due to my practice of every now and then cleaning off the hard drive and reinstalling.

Thanks

Did you try disabling SFC under Options - Patches tab? (see attached pic)

No.

Not being that versed in those settings, I have avoided them.

What does that do?

Thanks

Disabling SFC is more or less the same as disabling Windows File Protection.
