System File Check (SFC) enhancement request for Windows (a..

When doing a SFC check (open cmd and type sfc), Windows requires the CD/DVD
to recover damaged files.

Why can't it obtain these files online as many users don't have the CD/DVD
or right CD with the right SP etc?

I have a broken PC and I can't fix it because they don't have the XP SP2 CD
and it needs to restore some files.
