Either you have a problem with your RAM or something is wrong with the CD (or the CD-ROM Drive). Try a memory testing application to make sure everything is in order. I personally like memtest86... http://www.memtest86.com/ hope this helps. 0 LVL 1 Overall: Level 1 Message Author Comment by:hansam2005-05-10 Also, I installed WIN98 correctly, my WIN ME Bootdisk created a ramdrive fine. I was able to access the bootinfo.inf file on a seprate computer fine, however on the WINXP machine if I try to goto dos and use edit to open the file it just sits there and doesn't do anything. 0 LVL 14 Overall: Level 14 Windows XP 3 Message Expert Comment by:ckratsch2005-05-10 Some older CD drives are incompatible with the newer OS setup programs. The symptom I experienced is just as you describe - it goes along fine for a while, then at some point just fails to read the CD. Try a newer CD drive for the install. It doesn't even have to be that new, most 4x drives work and anything fas

I'm trying to help a friend with a computer problem. When the computer is powered on, it eventually results in a black screen with the cursor flashing in the left-hand corner. I tried inserting a XP boot disk and powered on the computer. I got the file i386 following message: "File \i386\biosinfo.inf could not be loaded; error code 4096, cannot continue setup, press any key to exit." After pressing any key, it goes to the black screen with the cursor flashing in the left-hand corner. You can press F2 during the bootup to get Run Setup or F11 for the Boot Menu, but those don't seem to get me anywhere like a DOS screen or anything. Any ideas on how to fix this file i386 biosinfo.inf would be much appreciated!

Cal Posts: 3,838 That error indicates a bad or corrupt harddrive. Better list complete system specs. (if it's a retail pc, post make and model number). Does the pc list the installed hard drive onscreen during post? If not, you'll need to check the bios. When you power on the pc press F2 and Run Setup. this will get you into the bios, look for any entries like SATA, IDE, Primary disk, etc. next to one or more of those entries, there should be a model number for the disks connected to the system. That tells you 2 things. 1. the drive is being seen by the bios. 2. make and model of the disk. Use the model number to find out who makes the disk and download their disk utilities and test the drive. (they all have bootable iso images so you can boot from a cd/flash/floppy and run the utilities from it.) If the drive isn't listed in the bios, then the problem could be one of the following: 1. Completely dead drive 2. bad data cable to the mainboard (motherboard) 3. Bad Sata channel or IDE channel.
