Well, I solved one problem; the reason I was getting the error "The following value in the .sif file used by Setup is corrupt or missing..."

Was that there is a problem wih the XP CD I created with sp1 slipstreamed. I went back to the original CD & it installed fine using the 6 floppy XP Installation set.

I was unable to install from the hard drive. That problem may have been the CD as well, since the i386 folder I copied to the hard drive was from the modified CD. When I have time, I will try the hard drive install again.
