re:dual booting win98 and win2k error verifying dmi pool data.

Hi all I hope someone can help,

I'm having a problem dual booting on my computer.I have a PIII 550 with a Maxtor 40 gig H/d.
I partion it 3 gig fat32 C: (for win98)
4 gig fat32 D: (for win2000)

I installed win98 on the C: and it works fine.Then I start to install win2k with the following steps
Welcome 2000 setup wizard screen - I choose clean install (multi operating sys)
Select secial options - advanced options (I choose my own partion ) D:

Then files begin to copy and the computer preforms its first reboot .This is when the computer hangs at "verifying dmi pool data" and doesn't go any further.

I've tryed installing from dos with the same error and also i've upgraded my bios plus tryed changing various bios settings and still have the same error.I hope someone out their can help me!!

Thanks phil

Hi Phil,

First, WELCOME!! :xyippee: :xbolyell: :xspot: :xwavey: :xrockin:

When you get to that point, that is where the BIOS is looking and has looked at your settings and is or has installed them.
Double check the BIOS settings, and make sure that they are what you set them at.

Let us know from there.

Take care.........
