HI ALL,PLEASE HELP

I USED FDISK TO REMOVE WIN98 AND WANTS TO INSTALL WIN 2000 PRO.I CANNOT GET THE MACHINE TO BOOT FROM CD ROM FIRST THATS WHY I USED FDISK, HOWEVER WHEN I TRY TO INSTALL WIN 2000 PRO USING 4 MAKEBOOT DISKETTES. DURING INSTALLATION THE FIRST DISK IS TELLEING ME “inf file txtsetup.sif is corrupt or missing ” AND I CANT CONTINUE.

WHAT IS THIS FILE? AND HOW CAN I GET IT ON TO THE MACHINE
