I've been trying to setup windows XP and after formating the hard drive partition I get the FOLLOWING message :
" The following value in the .SIF file used by setup is corrupted or missing:
Value 0 on the line in section (Source Disks Files) with the key SP1.cab.
Setup cannot continue. To quit setup press F3"
Could someone PLEASE tell me what to do? where such files can be found? will I have the same PROBLEM if I get a BRAND new hard drive and setup windows? is it possible to fix this file? if yes .. how??
Any help regarding this ISSUE will be greatly appreciated it.
Upgrade disk/ full retail disk..........or preloaded...hardrive system..........?Aparently the hard drive it's empty, I've been booting with the help of the 6 floppy disk and the Windows XP CD in the CDROM drive, been folloing all the instructions and just when setup it's supposed to  beging copying the files  to the Windows Installation Folder is when I get the message.
By the way, thank you for your reply.Why when you have a  winxp crom disk........is this  pc with no cdrom drive..
