i am installing windows xp home through the boot disks.
when i get to disk 3 the following error occurs.

" The entry "pciide.sys" in the [SourceDisksFiles]
section of the INF file is corrupted or missing.

setup cannot ocntinue. "

i installed the floppy disks from the program off the
microsoft website. i have no idea why this is happeneing.

if anyone can remedy this problem, id be greatly

Your machine will not boot from the XP CD?

There are 2 different setup disk sets, pre SP1 and with SP1 did you get the right set?

Download the set again.
