Thanks for the advice...I guess I wasn't clear enough in everything that I
have already done. I have another thread in this area on 4/21 that explained
the whole situation. I am afraid I don't have the ability to connect to
internet on that machine...or run any windows....I am posting from another
pc. Does the memory check that you recommend run from DOS? Also, I loaded
XP with an upgrade on 4/11 and didn't register it yet...if I end up
reformatting this hard drive, do you know if there is a way to reload it
later....obviously there won't be an earlier windows for it to recognize. I
have tried running the repair option already, and it doesn't recognize it. I
have done a scandisk and it found no problems. I have been told that there
are problems with a corrupt boot.ini file, but not sure that what I have done
to repair it is correct either. I have restored to the original config and
the problem persists. The new memory is recognized in the BIOS.....
Thanks again for your help....
