'SFC /scannow' does not see setup CD

Post by admin »

(Administrator CMD) command: 'sfc /scannow'

Keeps saying to insert setup CD, although it IS inserted.

Code: Select all

Date:     2/9/2014       Source:   Application Popup
Time:     18:55:32       Category: None
Type:     Information    Event ID: 26
User:     N/A
Computer: xxx

Application popup: Windows File Protection : Possible reasons for this problem:
•  You have inserted the wrong CD.  (i.e., a different Windows product CD than the version installed)
•  The CD-ROM drive in your system is not functioning.
This should be the ORIGINAL cd-rom location!
When you don't know the original setup CD-ROM letter:
Find it in registration key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

I changed only 'SourcePath' to the current setup-CD location, it works!
