CD-ROM drive

Good Mourning


This old man has been on this dadburn computer everyday ( most of day) trying to sort out a problem with my CD!s or my CD-rom drive (dont know which). Well i noticed that yesterday when i tried to run sfc /scannow with my xp home cd in cd-rom drive i could not because it kept telling me to insert my xp cd , so i put the xp home cd in my cd-r/rw drive and it run sfc /scannow with out a hitch. Is this some kind of clue that i have a bad cd-rom
drive?
Thanks Much

If you have installed a new rom or extra, things can change with your drives and xp source preferences

you can get it to read from your cd rom instead of the cdrw by editing the following key in the registry to reflect the rom you want it to read from

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Setup\SourcePath
