If 98 works, and 2K fails, and the 2 OS's are on different partitions/drives, then check that 98 can see the 2K partition (Fdisk and display - don't change) If separate drive, (not just different partition) is the BIOS accessing the drive as LBA
but you are getting "dumping physical memory to disk" so - it's reasonable to assume the system is booting into windows far enough to get at the diagnostic dump routines - is the partition full - i.e. no space for pagefile, or dump file That brings us down to the OS doesn't understand the hardware or the hardware ain't doing what the OS wants (of for BSOD - needs) Drivers seem the be the most likely culprit JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 3:34 PM Subject: Re: unexpected kernel mode trap > At 02:32 PM 2/8/2006, Richard King typed: > >There are no *.dmp files on the 98-visible partitions.
