.sif corrupt during install

[Wes Hall]

When i try to install (clean - partition, format,
install) Win XP (full - not upgrade) (clean - partition,
format, install), it completes the format, then tries to
examine the disk. It gets a little over 20%, then has the
following error:
Windows XP Home Edition Setup

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

Value 0 on the line in section [SourceDiskFiles] with
key "SP1.cab."

Setup cannot continue. To quit setup, press F3.

F3=Quit

I really need help with this... if it were Win 98
I might could get it, it's my girlfriend's computer and
it's Win XP, which I'm not that familiar with.

Hmm, this is generally an error message from an upgrade:
