win xp setup error message

I am trying to install xp on a new hard drive with a new
main board and either get a message "File seupdd.sys
could not be loaded. The error code is 4 Setup cannot
continue" or File\i386\KDCOM.DLL could not be loaded
Setup cannot continue" What is causing this? Is there a
work around?
