Windows Forum / Windows XP / Performance and Maintainance / May 2008System File check - brain block
I have searched all my notes and just cannot find the actual command that allows checking system files from the command line. The one that may or may not pull files down from the CD. The parameter was /now, but I simply cannot remember the command. Any help?

Embarrassing, really. GP You're thinking of the system file checker - sfc - and the command line you may have in mind is sfc /scannow 'Brain blocks' - I know all about 'em. When I can remember what they are, that is. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > I have searched all my notes and just cannot find the actual command > that allows checking system files from the command line.

Seems like I am forgetting things more and more the older I get. Time to start carrying a bigger pocket notebook.

Cannot find correct files to replace some of them, whether I use my WinXP SP-2 CD or the I386 folder in SP-3.
