Missing file to start Windows after removing Adware

I received the following:

When you install Microsoft Windows XP, you may receive the
following error message:
[Files Needed]
The file 'Asms' on Windows XP Professional CD-ROM is
needed. Type the path where the file is located, and then
click OK.
Copy files from: GLOBALROOT\DEVICE\CDROM0\I386

I was originally told, before putting in the Operating
Disk, that the missing file is: C:\Windows\i386
\controls.com

Do you think I can still install XP???
And, if so, I read about the "All Users" and "Shared"
files may be missing, BUT WHAT ABOUT all My Pictures in My
Documents?

Just so afraid of losing those!!!!!!!!
Thanks.

This error indicates bad install media. Try to get another copy of the XP setup CD.
