Install Help

My computer crashed and I am in the process of re-
installing Windows XP Home addition. I went to microsoft
and made a boot disk for windows xp so I could re-install
the software. Everything worked great, including the
creation of a new partition. When I was asked to insert
the original xp cd, and it began to install I got the
following message:

The following value in the .SIF file used by setup is
corrupted or missing

Value on the line in section [Sourcedisksfiles] with
Key "SP1.cab."

Setup cannot continue. To quit setup, press F3.

Does anyone know what I need to do. Thanks in advance for
your help.

Thank you so much Rich. I found the information I
needed there and the install is completing as I write
this.
