Help!!! WIN2K Problems *Fixed* "YAHOOOOO"

I am having real problems getting my Win2k started. I have a boot disk in and when it starts to load I get the error message...

File \biosinfo.inf could not be loaded
The error code is 4096
set up cannot continue.

I have a freshly formated HDD and it still wont load....

What is going on.... or how can I get WIN2K to load without the boot disk.
I made the boot disks from the WIN2K disk on this PC about 10 mins. ago.

Help before I loose my cool...:|
 
I just bought it a few hours ago.
I changed boot up from d: to e: and it still made no difference.... do I have to format my drive in any special way because of the new file system?
 
just changed it from E: to SCSI and put it into mt CDRW and it still wont go... saying invalid system disk. replace the disk, and then press any key
 
Yeh.... ta man. I loose my cool and I forget what the hell I am doing somethimes...😱
I feel like a real tom, dick and harry.
 
I think I need to calm down and step away for a while! LOL
I think it is doing something.... although it looks quite dormant I am going to leave it as I have seen this installation befre and it is not a short one. Need a beer I think 😀


Thanks foryou help and calming advice
 
I'll drink to that.

Just let it sit and do it's 'thang. Sounds like you might be on your way

take a deep breath!
 
No it still has this message
BIOS is not fully APCI compliant press F7when prompted.... it is yet to prompt me🙁
 
Hmm...did it do anything before giving you this ACPI warning?

What kind of system are you installing this on? (components)

It's 4:10 am here...not sure if i'm gonna make it much longer myself...
 
Ok
MB = IWill VD133
SONY CDRW
Adaptec SCSI card
MATROX G400
Soundblaster Live PLatinum
NIC with realtek chipset
Texus instruments Fire wire card
Diamond data 50x CD ROM
19" Acer G991 monitor
Seagate 30GIG HDD 7200rpm
 
nahh... it got going again and stopped on the same screen.

I am going to give it the benefit of the doubt here. I will give it 10 mins from now... and if it doesn't prompt me to press F7 I am going to throw it outside for the Koala's to eat! LOL

CALMING DOWN! 😉
