Boot Problem (corrupt txtsetup.sif ???)

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Is your XP install CD a Retail disk or an OEM version. The
Setup Information File (.Sif) is a standard module. Check the
disk for fingerprints or other types of smudges. If necessary
you can download the Floppy startup disk set to get to the
Repair install or Recovery console using your CD-ROM.

I checked most of the hardware (CD-ROMs, disk drives, etc) and no
problems. Could you please let me know (or provide links to) how to
check RAM with overnight testing loops and HD for physical defects?
Thanks!!!
