Hi,

It was the disk, or at least, that what it looks like! I fixed it with my credit card - bought a 120 GB SATA disk, & am busy installing Win2K + MS updates, etc. Next is to pull everything off the old Win2K drive, & low-level format it (bin it?).


Regards,

Hi Mark,

Could be, altho I have already shaken the module, just in case a poor contact had "grown" since inserting it 3 weeks ago. Maybe I should do it properly, & pull the module & inspect?

For the rest, the defrag of the Win2K HD went without a hitch, but the boot/error/dump loop is still there in normal mode. Tonight, I'll try safe mode + networking, & see if I can get the MS updates. If it's still nogo, tomorrow, I'll haul the box down to the shop who sold it, & discuss.

Regards,

Sounds like a RAM problem. Win2K and Win98 have different places in the
memory to put there stuff, 2K from the bottom up an 98 from the top down.
