[dba-Tech] WinXP update problem

Sorry Lembit, I'm confused... Do you have SP3 on it already or not?

If so, you could try making a slipstreamed cd and seeing if that works. Would probably be quite a handy thing to have around I suppose.

I'm sure there is a system file checker, but I've not used it in a while, and can't remember where it is or how to use it. Maybe someone else can?

oh, forgot to say that I tried that already last night with the first PC.
It asked clearly for the SP3 CD.
After that one was rejected I triedd the WinXP install CD, which is slipstreamed with SP2.
I could dig out instructions how to slipstream and then make a slipstreamed
SP3 CD.
Then I would have to install the newest Windows update again, and try that CD.

OTOH, since obviously there are SP3 files modified, what do you think, should I try to install SP3 on top of what I have?

Or - isnt there a repair utility? hmmm... sfc? is that right? system file check???
