Hi I have just installed XP Pro onto a new pc with a SATA hard disk. The OS
works fine but the bios will only boot into XP when the XP CD rom is in the
CD drive which it checks first before going to the HDD to load windows.
If I try to only allow the bios to boot only from HDD it gives me the
message "Verifying DMI pool data....." and then it hangs.
I have tried removing the cd drive but then whilst the bios detects the
change it still hangs.
Any advice about this problem? Could the XP installation need files (eg
system files)from the XP CD rom to start, have I missed something in the
installation or is this likely to be a bios issue?
