Since my Dell wanted the an XP CD inserted when I tried SFC. Following
897128, I changed Professional to Home in both locations of Fp40ext.inf.
Ims.inf was already marked Home, not Professional.

SFC still asked for the XP CD but continued when I chose to ignore. SFC
was extremely slow compared to Win98SE. It 'said' nothing when it
finished, so I can only assume it found nothing wrong.

Since I am experiencing no problems, it was not time well spent for me.
