Microsoft created a special service that is built into the operating system. This service monitors your system files, and if one is replaced or deleted, ICS will automatically restore the system file. SFC (System File Checker) works in conjunction with a utility called Windows File Protection that keeps the system file cache: (%Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache) updated with the newest Microsoft approved files as they are installed on your system.To manually invoke the system file checker, be sure you have administrative access then go to the command prompt and type:
sfc /scannow (Yes, there's a space between the "c" and the "/")
The system will immediately begin to check all the current system files and restore the cached approved copies. You may be asked to insert the Windows CD as well during the restore.
Ok. My old windows cd didn't work anymore so i burnt a new copy and didn't name it Windows 2000 Pro when i burnt it ,so now it is saying i am not using the right window Cd or my CD rom drive is not working but i know tht my cd rom drive is working.
It can be as simple as just a bad cd or burn. Have you tried another cd with data on it in this drive? You can also use your cdrw drive to read the Windows cd if your cd-rom drive is being fussy.
