I have a chintech KT266A motherboard with an AMD Athlon XP2100 chip. Ram is 512mb of pc2100, hard drive is a western digital 80g and the secondary is the same with a partion of 40g each. System has a dvd rom and plexwriter 40/12/40 and 3.5 floppy drive. OS is XP Professional. I have reformated my hard drive once before to reinstall win 98 then upgrade to the XP. My question is that after a week or so, the system stops at “Verifying DMI Pool Data” and not boot up. Please, any help or suggestions.
