I would like to run my System File Checker for Windows
2000. My PC has no CD ROM Drive. How can I run
sfc /scannow command and change my possibly corrupted
file without the use of CD Drive.
 
Hi Ruel,

The Windows 2000 source files location information for Windows File Protection/System
File Checker is stored in registry and can be modified. If the I386 flat folder of
the installation files is on your local or a network drive you can change the WFP /
SFC Checker SourcePath value in the registry so that WFP / SFC uses that source
instead of prompting for the Windows 2000 installation CD-ROM.

For more information on WFP / SFC registry entries, see the following Microsoft
Knowledge Base Article:

KB222473 - Registry Settings for Windows File Protection
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=222473

NOTE: You must use regedt32.exe, not regedit.exe, to modify the REG_MULTI_SZ value.
For more information, see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article:
