Does SFC indicate the file and version of that file that's needed? A hunt for the file itself may be much easier than trying to hunt down a full disk. Even if there are several files needing replacement, it might still be easier. I normally carry copies of every MS OS with me on house calls, but I don't have MCE. You could always locate a Disk 2 once you're home (we may be the only two techs in the country without a copy of that one) and make him his own copy to drop off later.
