When SFC /Scannow is done the CD install key causes SFC to prompt for a XP CD-ROM ( which won't have SP3 embedded into it ), so SFC tends to repetitively prompt for the disk. There are several solutions, from modifying Registry Key values to
creating a SP3 \i386 folder on your PC to avoid prompting for the CD ROM disk.
