You need to run it from that machine's command prompt. However, you can put the CD in an external USB drive or you could share up a CD on another machine and put the CD for the OS in it (don't let it auto-play), then point SFC to where it's at on the network when it looks for it.

For the information, looks like i will have to go down the USB CD drive road because the POS till is not networked and a file is messed up thanks for the input.
