Apparently, you inadvertently downloaded the wrong set
of Windows XP setup boot disks.

NOTE:

If you are planning to use the Windows XP setup disks,
make sure you downloaded the correct set of setup disks.

If your have a Windows XP CD with SP2, you need to download
the setup disks for use with the Windows XP SP2 installation CD.
