Hello Folks need some help as I am currently going round in circles on this one as follows;

I own a Dell dimension 4700 desktop and am trying to install an HP3570C scanner on the USB bus. I run the HP software disk and it checks files,updates reistery but after loading new files the install asks for my Windows XP Home edition CD to be inserted as Windows files must be installed to allow the installation to proceed.

Now having a Dell with only pre-installed software means this is not possible!!

1) Is there a workaround to allow me to get the files HP needs

2) Is there a method of usig SFC (System File Checker) to load the necessary files.

Any help would be appreciated as I have been tooling over this for a week!!

Thanks Bryce

(PS have got the scanner on my old machine (450MHz with XP professional) and it is all functioning perfectly
