I am trying to refurbish my DELL Dimension 850T and have run into a
problem.
I replaced a failed HD with a formatted used HD known to be OK (no OS). I
was
trying to boot up to load Win XP from a CD but I get the following error:
Resource Conflict - PCI
BUS: 00, Function: 00
" " " 01
" " " 02
It also indicated that a file "NTLDR" is missing
I have no idea how to rectify this problem as the system sems to stall at
the same place each time. I can't even get to DOS. Can anyone help me out
of
this fix???
Thanks..............

When, exactly, do you get this error? During setup? After? Does it boot
from CD or does this error appear during CD boot?
Are you sure that that system is hardware-compatible with XP?
Are you sure that the jumpers are set correctly on the drives, and that they
are properly recognised in the BIOS? Dell often uses Cable Select jumper
settings, which means the primary drive is at the end of the cable.
Physically remove all add-on cards that aren't absolutely necessary and
clear the BIOS. There's normally a battery and a reset jumper on the
motherboard. Unplug the power cord, remove the battery, move the jumper
to the CLEAR position. Count to ten, put the jumper back and re-install
the battery. Plug the system back in, and go into BIOS setup and
re-detect everything. Set the boot sequence to boot from CD first, then
from hard disk.
As a test, you can just copy NTLDR to the root from any other working XP
system and see what the next error msg is. If the drive is formatted NTFS,
you won't be able to use a DOS or WIn9x boot floppy for this, unless you
have 3rd party NTFS-DOS drivers. You can use your XP Boot CD, get to the
recovery console, and copy the files via floppy.
However, if the install wasn't successful, and it sounds like it wasn't,
you might not be able to do this. The best plan is likely to just start
over, particularly since there's no data on the drive yet and you already
know things didn't go smoothly. Re-format the drive from the XP CD. Note
that if the drive is over 40 gig or so, you won't be offered FAT, only NTFS.
Unless you formatted the system as FAT and created a partition for DOS, you
won't be able to get to DOS. XP doesn't come with it. There is a
text-mode command interpreter that many people mistake for DOS, but it is XP
without the pictures.
