| The system is Home Media with SP2, and SFC demands XP Pro CD2.
| I have followed directions from MS Knowledge Base article 897128 (several
| times) to copy the I386 file, edit the Ims.inf and Fp40ext.inf files (change
| Professional to Home), and change the registry to point to the I386 file.
| Still demands XP Pro CD2.

| Any suggestions would be very appreciated!
