"FILES THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR WINDOWS TO RUN PROPERLY MUST BE COPIED TO THE DLL CACHE. INSERT WINDOWS XP PRO CD"
I have the original discs that came with my DELL DIMENSION 3100 computer(5 in all).Unsure which one to insert since none of them say "WINDOWS XP PRO" on them.
The problem is that each time I run a "sfc/scannow" scan the dialog box would open right before it was done with the scan and would not finish,prompting me to re-load the disc over and over.
Is this a virus or something that is not a serious issue?
Hi there should be a sticker at the side of your system or base of it is a laptop). If the sticker says XP Media Centre Edition, it is the correct disc.
You may reinstall Windows XP using that disc. Follow my guide below for instructions.
I mentioned above to use Malwarebytes' Antimalware to scan your system from malware and to use ccleaner to clean your computer (and registry cleaner) however it needs approved for some reason.
SFC requires a disk that matches your current Service Pack level. If your disk came with SP2 and you are running SP3, it will be looking for an SP3 disk, as some of the files have changed. In some cases, it even requires media that is the same distribution (VL, Retail, OEM).

The disc should look like this:
It might be a different colour. What do the labels on the other 5 discs say?
