[dba-Tech] WinXP update problem

I have SP3 on both PCs

I ran sfc /scannow on one PC. asked me for the WinXp disk. gave him the 
slipstreamed with SP2 and he was happy.

then I ran sfc /scannow on the other PC and it asked for the WinXP disk.
- Did not like the slipstreamed,
- Did not like the original
so now I'm afraid I have to go back to some older set of system files.
I have one made by ntbackup in November.
will try that.
