Windows System files sometimes may go corrupt due to virus infection or accidental removal of critical system files. In such scenario, all one thinks is to reinstall Windows XP again!
But before attempting full installation of OS, it’s better to try replacing or missing system files. All one needs to do this is as follows:
1. Click “Start” and then click “Run”.
2. In the command box, type sfc /scannow
3. Windows will now scan all the system files. This will take sometime.
4. If all the files are healthy, then the scanning will stop and that’s the end of the story. But if Windows finds any files damaged or missing, then it first tries to replace from “Windows File Protection” service which is by default kept “ON” in Windows XP. Windows File Protection service stores some critical system files in a location. But if these files are also corrupt, the Windows will ask for Windows XP installation CD.
5. Instert the CD.
6. Windows will now replace corrupted or missing system files from CD.
7. Restart the computer.
