XP home setup requires NT5INF.cat

R

Rob Musk

I am reinstalling XP Home but I don't the required service
pack 1 cd. I have downloaded xpsp1a_en_x86 from the MS
website and unpacked it to a CD via a different computer,
however the computer on which I am installing XP home now
asks for a file called NT5INF.cat. This file is not in the
service pack I have downloaded. There is a file of that
name but it has '.ca_' extension. The machine is now stuck
half way through setup and I can't get out. Any ideas on
what I should do now?
