How To Fix Windows XP Corrupted Files
This is a nice way to fix your corrupted XP files, all you need to have is a Windows XP cd.
Just put the XP cd in the drive & go to Start->Run-> type ’sfc /scannow’. This should fix your corrupted files in XP. What this procedure does is a simple copy paste of the original file from cd to its respective location in your PC.
If important file gets corrupted which is useful while booting here is what you gotta do.
Boot from your windows XP cd, then ignore the first repair option you get (by pressing R), just move further as you do to install. When it shows you that Windows XP is already installed, then select it & there you will have repair option. So just repair it, this won’t affect any of your installed softwares.
NOTE: You may lose the updated files that is done from windows update, so you may have to update again to get those files. The files in the Windows XP cd will be the version when the Windows XP cd was packed.

Solution from Search-and-destroy.
If you own a computer, you must have antispyware to keep it running at its best. The problem is choosing a scan that works. I have tried many different types of scans in the past and then I ran across Search-and-destroy Antispyware. I have to say that the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy is the best that I have used to date. It gets the job done and keeps my computer working like new. If you are interested in seeing for yourself just how good this antispyware works you can click on Search-and-destroy to learn more. I’m sure it would be worth your time to check it out.
Interesting.
Sounds like what I was thinking when I was trying to get a disk formatted on an older XP machine.
