microsoft system information failure

[harmabif]

I have update;

I wanted to make sure my dvd's infact had data on them, and thru windows explorer
I could view all the files, but when sfc scannow ask for the disc it still cant
reconize it

It will not run from a created Restore DVD...you will need to find someone with an XP SP2 CD.

The version needs to match...Home = Home...Pro = Pro.

Thanks Patio & Devil-Himself....

I will have to find a copy of the xp-pro disc's, also I went to the site
devil requested that I view and I checked,
1. Event Log
2. Windows Man Inst.
3. Remote (RPC)

and all three were turned on and set to auto. I did read the post where
the Repository Folder was deleted in safe mode and then rebooted.
First..I'am not sure what the repository folder is and where it is located.

repository sounds like a folder that would store all the system info.

Do you guys think that if I deleted this folder in safe mode then reboot
that it might solve the problem, but now that I think about it when I ran
SFC / scannow it said I had files missing, so doing this might not have any
influence on my problem.

Your feedback is welcome.
Thanks
Don
