Ok, now I never get past the boot screen . . .

I don't know what happened yesterday, but now the boot process appears to
hang on the startup screen (the white one w/ the windows 2000 logo covering
most of the screen, a grey bar w/ the copyright on the bottom, and the
animated color-shaded blue bar between them).

I thought it might be a drive letter reassignment problem (due to
circumstances beyond my control, Win2000 was installed on E: as the system
drive ... not a good idea, I know) so I went ahead and attempted to install
Windows XP (not upgrade, dual-boot. XP installed to a different location).

Well ... the XP installation was GLACIAL. From beginning to end was darned
near 24 hours. This morning it was saying there were 29 minutes before it
finished. When I got home from work at 6pm, there were three minutes left.
At 9pm it was /finally/ finished. I answered a few questions about the
accounts I wanted to start up, and now ... I get the blue XP screen w/ the
Microsoft logo but do /not/ get to the screen showing the accounts.

This may be merely glacial rather than hung, considering how the
installation went ... but I left it going for two hours, and it still never
got there.

This is a Dell Dimension 8100. 512mb memory.

Oh ... before I resorted to installing XP I managed to update the BIOS from
A02 to A09.

Any ideas what I can look for?

Getting up in safe mode works -- hopefully I can read the boot log and
figure out why its not booting up normally.

However, in safe mode I'm getting near total CPU usage. Usually it's
WinMgmt.exe, sometimes explorer.exe.

Anybody know why this might be the case?

For which OS? What does the event log show for errors? Device Manager
errors? Did you install the chipset drivers?

Malware? I find that "Spybot Search & Destroy" and "AdAware" (available from
www.download.com) are effective when I fix friends' computers.

I am concentrating on Win2000, since WinXP did not seem to make a
difference.

Chipset drivers? This is not something that would be take care of in the
course of the normal OS installation?

Where would I find them?

I keep finding reference to something called ACPI, and suggestions to
disable it in the BIOS, but the Dell Dimension BIOS does not seem to have
that as an option, althought there is an ACPI.SYS being loaded.

The last successful things in the boot log for the failed (normal mode) boot
before things began to go wrong:

Loaded driver NDIS.sys
Loaded driver Mup.sys
Did not load driver Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
Did not load driver CMS PortIO Driver
Did not load driver Audio Codecs
(there are a whole bunch more "Did not load driver" lines, then:)
Loaded driver \systemroot\system32\drivers\fdc.sys
....

There are a bunch of "Loaded" and "did not load" lines. Some of 'em even
appear to be attempts to load things it said it didn't load before.
A bunch for "Creative SB Live! Basic (WDM)"
A bunch for "NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64 (Dell)"
A bunch for "ECP Printer Port".
And they are not consecutive ... that is there would be a "Did not load
driver" for the "ECP Printer Port" followed by a couple of lines for some of
the other things, followed by another for the "ECP Printer Port".

What the heck is going on here?

(btw: I let the boot process run from about 3am to around 7am and never got
past the Win2000 logo screen...)

I will try to pick up a floppy disk today, so I can post the log itself
tonight...

Oh ... a lot of the same "Did not load driver" lines show up in the log for
the safe mode boot as well.

The /last/ lines in the boot log for the failed boot (and man, don't I wish
they timestamped these entries!) are:
Did not load driver WAN Miniport (ATW)
Loaded driver \systemroot\system32\drivers\efs.sys
Did not load driver Microsoft WinMM WDM Audio Compatibility Driver
Loaded Driver \Systemroot\system32\drivers\cdfs.sys

This is followed by the timestamp for the next (safe mode) boot attempt.

WinXP installation be having similar symptoms?

Ok, I have the ntbtlog.txt file from a failed boot, and from the succeeding
good boot. I won't go into all the "did not load" lines ... the only thing
different between the two logs are the last two lines in the failed boot:
Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\USBSTOR.SYS
Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\Fastfat.SYS

So ... it looks like "fastfat.sys" is my problem? Is this correct? Does
anybody have any idea what can be done about this?

If you installed them then this must mean the operating system starts. If so
check the event log for errors. Device Manager for errors/stop codes.

As I said, I can get it started in safe mode. But it hangs forever
trying to boot normal mode. There are only two lines different in the nt
boot log between the two boot types.

The error messages recorded in the event viewer have not been very helpful.
I've discussed that in another thread (search for "1077" in the subject
line).

That means next to nothing to me. I would like to see the events from the
system log. When you view the logged events in Event Viewer
(double-click them in the right-hand pane) in the upper right corner, third
button down is a copy to clipboard, then you can paste in the body of a
reply message.

Please do so for each of the different System Log events (that are a Type:
'Error' or 'Warning') since last boot so we can see all of the event detail.

Also check Device Manager for error codes and or non-starting devices.

That means next to nothing to me. I would like to see the events from the
system log. When you view the logged events in Event Viewer
(double-click them in the right-hand pane) in the upper right corner,
third button down is a copy to clipboard, then you can paste in the body
of a reply message.

Please do so for each of the different System Log events (that are a Type:
'Error' or 'Warning') since last boot so we can see all of the event
detail.

Also check Device Manager for error codes and or non-starting devices.

As I said, I can get it started in safe mode. But it hangs forever
trying to boot normal mode. There are only two lines different in the nt
boot log between the two boot types.

The error messages recorded in the event viewer have not been very
helpful. I've discussed that in another thread (search for "1077" in the
subject line).
