Can't Nuke Dell Inspiron 2650 using WinXp

[jmayhew]

I've had great success using the Nuke Boot Disk to erase systems using Win95, Win98 and WinMe. But when I tried the same method on the WinXp system I got the following display

boot: dod
Loading kernell.bzi............
Loading initrd.gz.....
Ready.
Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel. Please wait...
PCI: Device 00:1f.1 not available because of resource collisions

No log file was created.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Try Active@Killdisk

Try starting DBAN with 'nofloppy' at the boot prompt. If it still hangs, then start DBAN with 'verbose' at the boot prompt and report where it hangs.
