Step 1
You will need to get your XP or Windows 2000 server CD and locate the folder called:
I386
Step 2
Copy this folder to your C: drive of the target machine
example: C:\I386
Step 3
Tell windows where you have stored the i386 folder by changing the registry
Type regedit in the run box from the start menu then
set the registry setting for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
SourcePath and set it equal to C:\
*** DO NOT set it to C:\i386 as windows appends this to the SourcePath value automatically. If you do by mistake it will not run and will prompt you for the CD. blahh stupid windows..
Step 4
Reboot then type cmd in the run box.. to open a command window
Step 5
Type in sfc /scannow at the command prompt and it will begin running without prompting for the windows install cd

Windows 7 Unable to load SP1 error_access_denied (0x80070005) error
I ran into a problem with a clients Windows 7 Home Premium installation where after it had a virus it would not install Windows 7 SP1. I tried all the various standard solutions with no avail.
1.) Ran a system backup and restore, create disk image for all disks on machine to external drive and created a system repair disk
2.) Run Startup Repair, then try installing SP1- failed
3.) Run Startup Repair, then try installing SP1 standalone installer - failed
4.) Run sfc /scannow, then try installing SP1 - failed
5.) Run sfc/scannow, then try installing SP1 standalone installer - failed
6.) Finally, completed an in place upgrade from a windows 7 upgrade CD, entered serial number on bottom of machine, and ran an upgrade install. - all updates with the exception of the SP1 update worked... so still failed
7.) ran http://hacksys.byethost2.com/winupdate/windows-update-troubleshooter-v1-3.html windows update troubleshooter - failed
8.) Called Microsoft they collected some diagnostic information from the sony vaio laptop and suggested that I simply do a clean install. -- FAIL
I'm not happy about this one.. Hopefully they figure something out with the data to prevent this issue in the future.
