Bailey:
Verifying DMI Pool Data...
BOOT: I/O error reading disk
Please insert another disk
I had win98 and NT4-server.Anyone could help, please share your knowledge.
Thank You.

You havn't got a floppy disk or cd in the drives have you!
Check your BIOS to see what boot order your drives are in, Should be A: C: SCSI, or something similar.Could be a Hard disk boot sector fault.
______________________________________________________Bailey:
My boot order is correct "A, C, Scsi"
So, I suspect it may be HD boot sector fault.
I did "Fdisk /MBR" to repair it but with out improvement.And I lost my Emergency Boot Disk.
What Am I to do now?
Please share your knowledge, Thanks.

What did you do before this happened. It would be great to know if this happened just so, or if you did something in your system. I had a similar problem when inverting Primary and secondary controller. While every boot system must be installed on a disk on the primary controller (if there is just one disk). It could be that your parttion is not active. Run fdisk and see
mail me for further help

As J Reuter asks: what did you do to get into this state...
What is you system config? (HD EIDE/SCSI; partitions - as was...? etc.)
Ideas: set your sequence to c: then a: ?
Can you boot from '98 boot-disk (or a DOS 6.22 variety)?
What does Fdisk reveal?
What happens if you run the NT install floppies??? Will it allow a repair/upgrade choice etc???
