I am doing a clean install on a freshly formatted NTFS
partitioned IBM Thinkpad 390X notepad. I can't boot from a
CD. I get the above message on install after the floppy
setup finishes its thing. I have redownloaded and
reloaded my 6 floppys (setup disks) to no avail. In case
it was a download problem. It won't go any further than
the second screen. It says
"The following value in the .SIF file is corrupted
Value 0 on the line in section (SourceDisksFiles) with
key "SP1.cab""
 
Go into Bios and change your first boot drive to cd rom drive. Put your xp
disk in and re-boot. This will run the install for you cleanly. Once
installed dont forget to go back and change the first boot sequence back to
A drive.
Hope this helps
