Win XP Pro is asking for Service Pack 1 CD during install

I have used this XP disk several times before and it never
once asked me for a Service Pack CD. I just built a mostly
new computer (everything but the drives) and can not get
XP to install because it can't find the Service Pack.

The XP Pro CD I have is the full retail version that is
about 2 months old.

Any help please?

My hardware:
Athlon 2500+ (Barton)
Gigabyte 7N400 Pro
512MB Corsair XMS 2CAS
Asus FX5200 Video Suite
100 GB Western Digital drive
32x Sony CDRW
 
Nope, not using the floppy disks. I booted straight from
the CD. That is exactly how I did it on the "old" computer
before I upgraded it. It always simply just worked without
asking for any other files.

I suppose I can try using a floppy to get it installed,
but since I didn't put a floppy drive in the newly
upgraded machine, I would prefer not to.

The install starts up, goes through the initial load,
reboots, asks for the reg key, sets up the network, then
asks for the SP1 Disk. Then I'm stuck...is the SP1 on the
disk somewhere? If so, where?

Thanks,
Aaron
