i just installed Beta 2 from the DVD on an Inspiron B130, P4 1.7Ghz, 60GD HD, and everything seemed to go just fine, but when i turn it on, i get a blinking white _ on a black screen. i booted up NTFS4Dos from hirens BootCD, and it looks like all of the files are there. can anyone tell me why its not working? thx in advance.

Is this a clean install or are you upgrading from XP? I haven't heard of anyone I know that was able to install upgrade option--just bombs out. I had to do a clean install so did my co-workers, then it worked.
