Since the Windows XP CD That I have is not bootable, I
created 6 bootable setup disk using the file downloaded
from microsoft. But when I install, I encount the following
proble m right after I format the new partition:

The following value in the .sif file used by setup is
corruptive or missing:

Value 0 on the line in the section [SourceDisksFiles] with
key "SP1.cab"

Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.

can anyone give me a help?

Your efforts will be really apreciated!
