Windows 2000 SP4 integrated is failing during setup

[Cody]

I am installing off of installation floppies I made off
this CD. When it gets done partitioning and formatting
the drive, this error always comes up:

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

Value 0 on the line in section [SourceDisksFiles]
with key "sp4.cab"

Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3"

the CD has sp4.cab and the file seems to be fine.

This is a slightly dated dell laptop, but it meets all
the requirements for windows 2000 and was running this OS
before.

Thanks for any help!

Try creating a new set of floppies. The set of four install disks can be
created from your Windows 2000 CD-Rom; change to the \bootdisk directory on
the CD-Rom and execute makeboot.exe (from dos) or makebt32.exe (from 32 bit)
and follow the prompts.

I have already attempted this. I made the floppies off
of the CD a few times, and I also made the floppies off
of a website that I found the images on, just in case
something was wrong with the floppies off the CD.

I also tried 4 new disks with the same result.

How was the integrated install created?

I believe it's a CD from microsoft with SP4 already integrated.

Does it have the detailed hologram image on the disk? Are there any
instructions on it? You may need to boot the CD-Rom.

I recall that in winnt.sif, If you are running Unattended
Setup from the CD-ROM, you must set the Msdosinitiated key
to 0, but if you start Setup from 4 floppies, that key
should be set to 1.
At least that is the case in Windows NT4.0 (3 floppies
there), as detailed in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article -
