Win XP Pro Installation fails
« on: July 02, 2006, 04:25:08 AM »
Can anyone offer any advice, please?

I have a 633Mhz Celeron with 384mb memory, 80 gb hdd (empty), cd-rom, cr rom rw.  BIOS is Phoenix Award Modular v4.51PG, Awaward & Play Bios extension v1.0A.

It ran through the hardware check ok, no problems. Recognised the HDD & both CD drives, booted up from the XP PRO CD to start installing windows, then when it came to restart it got to Verifying DMI Pool Data.....
then I got the message Error loading operating system.

I have tried starting from scratch 3 times, but just get the same message each time.

Thanks for your help.
