sfc /scannow help
I have and IDE hard drive that i took out of someone else's computer and want to run sfc /scannow now on it. I can't do it in the computer now because of a bad spyware infection. I have an IDE to USB adapter that i'm using so essentially i'm turning the IDE hard drive into an external hard drive when i plug it in to my notebook. So my notebook has Vista Ultimate. The desktop hard drive has XP home on it.
So my question is can i run sfc /scannow on the external hard drive. I have an XP disc i can throw in the optical drive.
Any help will be appreciated thanks
