Win2k with Win98/ME

Hi.

This is almost definately a hardware problem. A few things to try:

- reseat the memory
- remove non-critical cards
- replace memory.

If that doesn't work, check to ensure that the bus speed is set to the correct setting for your processor, that the processor speed is set correctly, and that your memory is rated to the appropriate bus speed.

Good luck.

I initially thought that it was hardware also, so I took out every single card in my pc and even swapped video cards...same result. I tried different RAM...same result. I've even tried using a different cd-rom drive, since I have a burner...same result. I have concluded that it is not hardware, since I am able to install Win2k by itself with absolutely no problem. What is killing me is that until recently, when I decided to re-build this system, I had a triple-boot, with Win98, Winnt, and Win2k...Win98 & Winnt shared the C: partition, while Win2k had it's own D: partition. However, I used System Commander to set up the Win98 and Winnt. Then when Y2K rolled around, System Commander stopped working, and the NT loader took over, so I didn't care. When Win2k came out, I just booted off of my setup disks and set it up with no problem. I really don't know why it will not work now...but it definitely works alone.

try to convert your drive to fat32 where win98 was installed.run chkdsk /f /r to your
ntfs partition.ensure that your hard disks cables were thoroughly fit to their connectors and controllers.recheck sequence
of booting device under your bios and while
it is there disable all that refererred to cached and os plug n play aware.
