From 'another place' - if you have not got a W98 boot floppy I would advocate getting one!

"The best way to solve this problem is to:

1. Boot with Windows 98 Boot Floopy (Make sure that your Win XP CD is in the CD/DVD Drive)
2. at the A: / prompt type D: then press enter
3. at the D: / prompt type cd i386 then press enter
4. at the D: / i386\ prompt type copy biosinfo.inf C: then press enter
5. remove floppy disk & CD
6. restart pc
7. select normal "

Obviously drive letters to taste.
