Windows XP Setup Problem

[Thomas2878]

Upon setup of Windows XP Home Edition, the setup was terminated with the following
message:
"The following value in the .SIF file used by setup is corrupted or missing:
Value 0 on the line in section [SourceDisksFiles] with key "SP1.cab".
Setup cannot continue."
Anyone know what this is about or a solution to it? Thanks.

Are you using a set of Windows XP setup floppy disks? If you are,
you're using the wrong set:

There are two different versions of setup disks for Windows XP.
If you have a Windows XP CD without Service Pack 1, you need to use
the first set listed. If you have a Windows XP CD that includes SP1,
then use the ones listed at the bottom of the page.
