I could not start XP deployment from CD so I created XP
startup disks (6). When I boot up with disk # 1, I get
following error...
"\biosinfo.inf was not accessiable
error code is 4096
Press any key to continue"

When you do so, it reboots and same thing all over again.
I have tried to create FAT partition, make it active,
made a NTFS partition, all have same problem, can't start
the XP installation. I have used same CD in past to
deploy XP, so code on CD is good. BTW, I created the boot
disk from "WinXP_EN_PRO_BF.EXE " utitily for XP site.

Thanks in advance,
Nick
 
The Windows XP CD is bootable and contains all the tools necessary
to partition and format your drive. Follow this procedure and allow
Windows XP to partition and format your drive:

1. Open your BIOS and set your CD Drive as the first bootable device.
2. Insert your Windows XP CD in the CD Drive and reboot your computer.
3. You'll see a message to boot to the CD....follow the instructions.
4. The setup menu will appear and you should elect to delete the existing
Windows partitions, then create a new partition, then format the primary
partition (preferably NTFS) and proceed to install Windows XP.

5. Clean Install Windows XP

6. After installing Windows XP, be sure and visit the support website
of the manufacturer of the computer to download and install any
available Windows XP compatible drivers, such as video adapter
and audio drivers.

7. It would be best to physically disconnect all your peripheral hardware
devices, except for you mouse and keyboard, before installing XP.
After XP is installed, visit the support website of the manufacturer
of each hardware device to obtain the latest drivers or software
designed to work with Windows XP.
