XP SFC tells me I have the wrong disk.

I need to restore some system files that were accidentally changed. So I
clicked Start | Run and entered SFC /scannow
Every file that it scanned SFC kept prompting me for the XP Professional SP2
CD. My OS is XP SP2 Home Ed. my install CD is for XP SP2 Home. Is there a
workaround for this? Or, am I SOL?

Before running the command, make sure the CD is in the installation drive. When it starts
to autoplay just click the X and close it.
Now run the command.
This has been a known issue and if you place the CD in the drive first, it seems to work
then.
