xp .SIF file corrupt of missing?

[asiagirl1]

Okay, I have set up the new system and everything boots up correctly and goes to the 6 xp floppy disketts. All of the disks load and then the screen comes on to format the hard drive. I have done that and everything works correctly until xp setup gets out of the format screen. The next screen says it will install the OS, press enter.
Once I hit enter the error message:

.SIF file used by setup is corrupted or missing.

Value 0 on the line in section Source Disks Files with Key "SP1.cab."

Setup will not continue. press f3 to exit.

Is this error because one of the floppy 6 floppy disks is not correct, the hard drive is bad or is it something wrong with the XP OS cd? any help would be appreciated. Thank you all

Okay I admit it. I did not read the fine print on the boot download. There were two. One xp and one xp service pack 1. As I was re-reading the OS package, I noticed the SP-1 on the package that I own. I had used the wrong one. Thanks to those who read my message. Wish I could solve all the problems this easy. Thanks again guys.

Good Luck!

I'm sure you know the XP CD is bootable. I am guessing that the system you are working is not capable of booting from the CDROM. If it is you don't need the floppies.
