System File Checker
Hi
I need to run the system file checker to check for damaged or missing system files on my Dell 4600 P4 2.8GHZ with 512MB. Whenever I run the utility, it asks me to insert the installation disk for Windows XP Home. The only disk I got from Dell is the Reinstallation Disk for Windows XP which the utility rejects.
Can I run the system file checker on my system?
No Events found!

bobcwilson,
That is the correct disk they are asking for. I don't know why it would reject it.
Make sure it is clean and install it before you start the file check process.

If you have to change the DELL installed Product Key which isn't your COA Sticker Product Key as DELL use a generic Product key;
Must reboot Windows for change to take effect & re-Activate Windows XP
Auto change Product Key via Activation Wizard with FREE program keyChanger.exe in ZIP File with View Product Key Program as well.

Use your valid COA Product Key.
Or use Microsoft site info to manually change;
