If i boot the computer with the first boot disk in the computer
takes me through the process of inserting the varius disks, then
asks me if i want to instal XP, to which i answer yes. it asks for
the XP CD, but when it starts to instal from it, this message
appears: "the following value in the .SIF file sued by setup is
corrupt or missing. value 0 onthe line in section
[SourceDisksFiles] with key ´SP2.cab´
Setup cannot continue. to quite setup, press F3"
Ive tried to install sevral times but its given me the same
message each time. Ive tried to boot from the CD, but before it
really gets anywere, the
message "NTLDR is missing" comes upp and askes me to reboot.....
If anyone can help me out of this problem Id be very thankful.
Bad CD Drive or Bad CD.

no, CD is fine, since ive used it before for an older XP instal.
the drive is also fine as it has been working before the attempted
reinstal
Things *do* go bad.
Scratched CD, old cd drive laser, old CD drive motor, etc.
The only other options are bad IDE cable (if IDE CD or hard disk drive), bad
controller (on motherboard) or possibly - but doubtful - bad hard disk
drive/memory.
