the following error INF file txtsetup.sif is corrupt or missing, status 7.
Setup cannot continue. Press any key to continue, i checked everything in the
bios, reloaded dos and loaded all the motherboard and hard drive drivers,

First off...
when you install XP...you do not install dos first!

Now...if there are special drivers to load...
you do so by pressing F6 durning the beginning of setup...
but since you did not get that far...you could not have loaded your drivers.

Since you cannot get your installation to start properly...
You need to check your cdrom and the cd itself.
Also be sure your RAM timing is correct...and if so...
you should run a ram test
 
With a new systems there are many things it could be. The symptoms you
describe point to bad RAM. The RAM may not actually be bad but just
misconfigured. Go into the motherboard BIOS and set it to the BIOS defaults
and try again. If it still has problem run a memory testing program for
several hours. If it fails the RAM test then you have to determine if the
RAM is actually bad or if something is misconfigured. This is hard to do
without a lot of experience.

Jill - couple of things - take it you are referring to installing from the
CD drive. What version of Windows are you trying to install.and how did you
obtain it. The file TX.sif is accessed during the test mode (DOS) setup
phase and addresses some devices but mainly the ACPI capabilities.
