I am trying to re-install windows 2000 but I keep getting
an error that "TXTSETUP.SIF is corrupt or missing". I
tried creating a new set of boot diskettes but I keep
getting the same error. I have checked the floppy
diskette and it does have the file "TXTSETUP.SIF".

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Try booting the CD-Rom. To do a clean install, either boot the Windows 2000
install CD-Rom or setup disks. The set of four install disks can be created
from your Windows 2000 CD-Rom; change to the \bootdisk directory on the
CD-Rom and execute makeboot.exe (from dos) or makebt32.exe (from 32 bit) and
follow the prompts.

When you get to the point, delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions
found. After you delete the partition(s) abort the install, then again
restart the pc booting the CD-Rom or setup disks to avoid unexpected drive
letter assignments with your new install.

Tried different floppies? corruption in floppies are a COMMON thing,
sorry to say.

the TXTSETUP.SIF is normally used for an unattended install (/U option).
Try setup without paramaters.
