How are you installing Windows XP from a floppy disk? The only Windows XP floppy disks are the six floppy start-up set. Once you have used them you still need a Windows XP CD to install the Operating system.

If this error is occurring while you are using one of these floppy disks then it is probably an error on the disk and the computer is having problems reading it. You need to replace it.
