I started with the POST hang "Verifying DMI pool data"
Reset BIOS/CMOS - No Joy
Tried repairing the boot sector using FIXBOOT (or something like that) from the Repair Console - No Joy
BUT, I could navigate the hard drive from the repair console so I think it is OK
Tried the FIXMBR - same
Now, I'm trying to do a repair install of XP. I got through entering the key, but now it is asking for programs that are not on the XP Installation CD. The first one is "cimwin32.mf_"
Ran into this last night and there were at least 10 programs it asked for. "Cancel"ing loading the specific programs left me with a hang at the Welcome to Windows screen.
I didn't run into this when I did my original installation. That went fine. So, Why does it think it needs programs that aren't on the CD? Where can I find them?
Thanks in advance
