minint\system32\biosinfo.inf minint is probably winnt. I.e.
winnt\system32\biosinfo.inf

biosinfo.inf should be in the \winnt\inf folder.

“Biosinfo.inf is missing or corrupt” error message when you upgrade to

Do you have a Compaq? Call their tech support. Googling around indicates
this is an error with Compaqs and various software conflicts.
Otherwise, what changed between the time things worked and the time
they didn't?

Since you want to only give bare minimum responses and info, I guess you have
a lot of reading to do!!

Your wallet got a strangle hold on your typing fingres?

Google Search
Results 1 - 10 of about 6,820 for biosinfo.inf.
