Hello all,This morning i logged on to my company's server and recieved this message:"Windows File ProtectionFiles that required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability. Windows must restore the original versions of these files.Insert your Windows SBS 2003 CD-ROM now."When i do so i then recieve this message that my CD rom might not be functioning...from the event viewer: Application popup: Windows File Protection : Possible reasons for this problem: You have inserted the wrong CD. (i.e., a different Windows product CD than the version installed) The CD-ROM drive in your system is not functioning I know my CD drive works fine because when i pop in the SBS cd, the autorun starts. I have SP3 on the SBS 2003, i am assuming that the system is pointing to the SP3 download rather than the CD? How do i go about correcting this issue? (the WFP message and CD error)Also, how critical can this be to my system?Thank you,Chris

Hi Chris,Its a means of protecting the machine..Logon to server, check the system logs and see for the error code, refer the below document and perform the activity. Refer the below microsoft KB article.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/222193Start in Safe Mode w/ Command Prompt, then type sfc /scannow Just even a reboot may also fix these ---------------Dharshan S

Hi Dharshan,Thank you very much for your insight, I will be performing your solution first thing after hours tomorrow(assuming it will take a long time for the sfc. I will start with a simple reboot, then if that doesnt resolve it I will do the sfc /scannowfrom cmd in safe mode.I was also looking at this article:http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=263499Would you think this will resolve the error message i get when i pop the CD in the drive for when the Windows File Protection asks for it?also, is this critical that can bring my Server to a halt?I appreciate your help :)Chris
