I was trying to repair my Windows XP using the XP CD but unfortunately after all the software were copied, on reboot I got a blue screen error. I tried again using the CD the errors below is what I have been battling with. I cannot boot to save mode.

Setup cannot Copy the file: Driver.cab

To retry, press enter.

If you are installing from a CD, make sure the Windows XP Cd is in the CD-ROM drive

To skip this file, press ESC

Caution: if you skip this file, setup may not complete and windows XP may not work properly

To quit setup, press F3

How do I resolve this issue.

Assuming you are using an original cd.

If you are using a slipstreamed copy on a burned cd or cdrw, you might have a bad copy.

"cannot copy file" usually translates to "cannot read the file from the cdrom"

You may need the SATA drivers during the OS installation process. During installation, you will see a prompt to press F6 to install 3rd party drivers. Before going that route, check out the following:
