XP Home--SFC prompting for XP Pro SP2 CD?

[NucomMat]

I have a pc that is prompting for the Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD and the pc is running WinXP Home Sp1..anyone ever seen this?

Tried to burn the I386 folder from the PC to a CD to see if it would find the files there, and no luck.

Anyone seen this?

Thanks,

Mat

XO SP2 is only out in beta form yet.

Sorry about the clairity of the question, it occurs when SFC is ran.

I know it is not out yet for the end user, that is what makes it so odd that it is prompting me for the Sp2 disk.
It is a customers PC that has no access to the SP 2 distro as of yet, but I did notice that some of the Hot-fixes refrence SP2 in the name.

When you run sfc /scannow it then prompts for the Windows XP Pro CD w/Sp2 and the OS that is installed is XP Home with SP1.

Thanks again,

Mat

The hotfixes would read"pre Service Pack 2" which is common at this stage.
Are u sure its not the office xp sp2 cd its prompting for?

Yeah, it is prompting "Insert your Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD now" when it tries to run SFC...very very odd.

I hope that someone else will be able to help you with this....

I uninstalled all the Hotfixes that had (SP2) in the name, they do not say pre Service Pack 2 just (SP2) and was able to run SFC with no problem. Thanks for you help, but looks like MS is getting ahead of it's self again with releasing some of the SP2 stuff in hot fixes.


Thanks again for your input.
