    Hey guys,
    As some of you know I'm flicking through diff. OS's to see which one is the best.
    Trying to install XP SP3 off my USB but I get the following message:-
    "inf file txtsetup.sif is corrupt or missing status 18"

    I have checked to confirm that the txtsetup.sif file is there and it is exactly the same as the original. Have tried 3 different versions of XP SP3 but no joy.
    Any help?

    Update:
    After doing a quick NTFS format, I rebooted and it gave me a Disk Read Error and told me to CTRL + ALT + DEL.

    So I decided to remove all partitions and now I'm doing a full NTFS format. 88% right now.

    Latest update:-
    I researched this problem and found out that there's a way around this. Basically, the link I gave in one of the post earlier, expects us to go select option number 2 when booting from USB. On a website I found out that after selecting option number 2 and creating a partition, formatting it and that we should boot off the USB again but this time use option number one.
    Installing now (On installing devices at the moment) - fingers crossed!
    Sorry for the constant posting and stuff.
