        Run sfc /scannow, as described in my reply #11, and put Windows Media CD, when it asks for a disk.

          Then XP Pro is installed on that machine......somewhere.
          This may also have been caused by attempting to fix Media Center with an XP CD...

            Did search and there is no XP Pro on machine. In pulling up the OS it indicates Windows Media 03 The OS disc which came with the computer indicates Windows XP Media Center 2004 In running the fsc scan now it indicate this OS disc is the wrong CD It is looking for windows XP Pro

            Well i did some more checking and apparently in some cases an XP CD will run both SFC and the Recovery Console on Windows Media Center.
            You will need an XP Pro ( not home ) CD with Service Packs that match what you have installed.

            Again sometimes this has worked sometimes not...

              I don't believe it was installed ,if so it must have been done at the factory. When I pull up the OS listed on this computer it is 2003 Windows Media. When I use the fsc it states Windows Pro.  I have all of the Windows media software so I don't know how the Run sequence with Sfc is reading XP Pro

              winver
              Click OK.

                Please insert the Compact Disc labeled 'Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD
                Is this the question, your computer asks?

                  No, my question is, if the Service Pack 2 is mentioned?
