Aah, Ok. cab files are nothing more than cabinets, or containers of compressed files. After you formatted the drive did you re-install the DOS level system files on the hard drive? To make sure, boot with a start up disk and at the A:\> prompt type: sys C: and press enter. When it's done, remove the floppy, reboot and try the install again.
