Shane:
Open a cmd.exe window and put in

sfc /scannow

Make sure there is a space after sfc

A box will open up with a progress bar, once done any files it finds that needs replaced or did replaced will be logged in the event viewer.

HappyDog:
Yes it asks for a disk. So far have had no luck tracking one down. Out of luck HUH?

Shane:
OK so it is finding files that need replaced, and since the i386 folder from the setup disk isnt on the drive it is asking for the disk instead.

Is it XP home or Pro? OEM, Retail or Volume?

I have no problem helping people get an ISO of the Windows setup disks of any version, because I dont have people crack them or anything, in fact MS normally lets people get the ISO anyways, you just have to have a key code.

So that being said, here are some you can try

Not sure if this one will work but it is worth a shot and see if sfc will accept it (Try this one first)

They also have this one, same size yet different file name, both 589MB in size.
