Even with a log, you wouldn't be able to do a thing since...the files will be replaced during the sfc run.
And of course, you can't install windows again and check the files logged by SFC because simply can't corrupt the same files, it's a random and tied to what you're doing and which files are being accessed when the corruption occurs.
I would like to check for corruptions myself and not use sfc.
I tried once to let sfc replace all corrupted files, rebooted once and immediately re-launched sfc. And again it would ask for the CD a thousand times.
I just don't get it. I am starting to wonder if sfc considers the multiple critical updates installed on my PC that are not on XP SP2 CD.
On my older rig, sfc will also ask for the CD all the time, when it is a stable 3 yr old rig that is not OCed, runs on nforce 4 sli and as such is not subject to data corruption.
I just want to see the corruptions myself using comp instead of launching sfc blindly.
