Need to have the steps to run sfc /scannow from Windows Vista DVD-ROM intead of system files.

Tags: sfc, vista, run
Hello. I know you can run sfc /scannow {System File Check Utility) in Windows Vista. I know when you type \cd, then type at C:\>sfc /scannow, it repairs Windows files in the process. I figure there is a backup Windows file for Vista somehere on the system drive. I know for Windows XP is is i386 file that it uses. What is the name for Windows Vista Windows backup file called? Also, if I wanted to use sfc /scannow and do it from the Windows Vista DVD-ROM instead of the Windows Vista system files, how do you do it? What are the steps? That is doing it in CMD. There can't be too many steps different. I am not an expert in CMD or the old DOS. Please provide me the exact steps in CMD where I can have sfc /scannow verify from the DVD-ROM instead of the system files. Please reply. Thank you!
