XP Can't Load cos Insufficient memory

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I'm running XP home with 2.7 Ghz celeron and 1.2M DDR RAM and 2 hard disks
formatted into 7/8 partitions.
It started by freezing up, then it wouldn't restart - seemed to not find a
bootable OS on the 1st hdd and then tried to load win 98 which is not
installed(?) on the next hdd, but then says not enough memory clean up the
autoexec.bat and config.sys files, followed by the its safe to shutdown
message (from win98). On restarting and looking at BIOS it runs for a couple
of minutes then shutsdown off its own bat.
