hi chaps ...need some help...built a new machine...with a gigabyte mobo new 120 GIG HD and ati9800 pro...using 512mB of old 2100 ddr for the moment and amdxp 2000.....when i switch on to install xp i get "verifying dmi pool data......
disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter"..
I've tried to get it to boot from xp CD by messing with the bios settings ...my xp boot diskettes (all 6 of them) don't work too..I think the 1st diskette is corrupted......should I just download a fresh set of diskettes and get cd rom working and install from there .....or is there a problem with the hard drive .....
the bios can see the hard drive and cd rom...but I've had connection problems there too....although it could see them fine last night....please help chaps
