Hi, I just downloaded BeOS PE from pcworld.com (twice) and I can't get it to boot. I have it on an 18GB FAT32 partition of my 80GB IBM Deathstar which Windoze is installed on a 60GB NTFS partition also. I've tried booting it from Windoze and a cold boot (from floppy) and every time it boots it does the blinking light thing in the uper left corner, highlights the first two icons then freezes. It then shuts my monitor off and the only thing I can do then is reboot into Windoze. I've tried every option avalible in the safe mode, but nothing works. I think it may be my ATI since (I think) the second icon is display but I'm not sure. But I really don't want to swap this out because it works great in Windoze and I cannot afford another card.

System config:

PIII 667
Intel VC820 MB
ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon
Creative Soundblaster Live! (5.1)
Generic modem
3com 10\100 ethernet adapter
Windoze XP Pro

Please help, I'd love to get BeOS working so I can at least try it out.

-thanks

Icons mean this.
Atom: Indicates the handoff of the bootloader to the BeOS kernel.

I/O Card: PCI initialization has been completed.

Lightning Bolt: This icon appears just before the system enables non-boot CPUs (where non-boot CPUs are defined as the additional processors in a multi-proc system).

Oscilloscope: All CPUs have now been enabled.

Disks: All boot drivers and modules have been initialized.

Magnifying Glass: The boot volume has been mounted.

BeBox: The system BootScript is being read into memory and its contents executed.

From Scot Hacker's Beos Bible online.

That mean's that somewhere around I/O cards is a problem. Use safe mode options to try to get further along. When you see loading (use a bootfloppy to Beos) press the space bar and choose safe modes.
Before you do that be sure you disable plug and play in bios.
