RE: WMI fault

If youve installed a 2nd hard drive,or added other drives (cd,dvd,etc),then
youve changed the source path for Sfc to run properly.To change,go to
run,type:
regedit,in regedit,expand:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,software,microso ft,windows,
set-up,open source path.L.click:Installation Sources Go to
edit,modify,change the
letter to the letter listed in "my computer" For the cdrom with xp cd in
it,then
change:Source Path With same letter,close out regedit when thru..Also,go to:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/r...scending&nr=20 For WMI downloads
