XP install from Floppy Boot Disk

[Guest]

While trying to install XP on a clean system using XP boot Disk (from MS
download) I get the following messageafter the system has used the boot disks
to get the install goingand is then using the XP install CD.

"The following valein 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"

I have tried this several time with the same result. What am I supposed to
do now??

Thanks Doug

You downloaded the wrong set of setup disks.
Read the following article and download the
correct setup disks based on which version of
Windows XP you have.
