Hey guys,can you solve this one,I have a copy of Winxp pro,but it wont
install,after it turns off the comp.it starts but when it starts installing windows'
I see the windows trademark on a black screen for a few seconds and then
it goes blank and no activity on the harddrive.I also got this message
"setup info.file d:\1386dosnet.inf is invalid".

It may be the case that you'll have to flash your motherboard bios. Check out the manufacturers website. I had the same thing when upgrading from 98.
