Stop errors
I have an Interl D845gvsr motherboard with 256 DDR 333mhz RAM, 40gb HDD partitioned into 3(c,d, and e). I had Windows XP pro in D driver and Windows 98 SE in c:. I also have a TV capture card installed on one of the PCI slots of the computer. All of a sudden one morning, my Windows XP crashed throwing an error "unknown hard error" with ntdll.dll. I tried working on it. Unfortunately, I was left with no option than to uninstall/format that D drive which had Windows XP.
I felt safe to have Windows 98. It worked well for me. All of a sudden the next day in the morning, my Windows 98 crashed throwing stop errors.
From then, I tried several times formatting drives, trying to install Windows ME/Windows XP home/Windows 98 SE, but to no avail. Now, when I am trying to install Windows 98 se the setup hangs initially at 100% before it asks me for the selection of the folder "c:\windows" screen.
I just have my c and d drives formeatted using Windows 98 bootable cd and have the c as the active partition. However, I still have very important files stored on e drive.
I ran scandisk and surface scan using scandisk tool from WIndows 98 bootable CD and the utility said the drives had no problems. Now, I am very skeptical as to what the problem could be? Is it the MBR of the HDD or is it the RAM or is it any other hardware component in the computer that is creating problems for me.
By the way, I have Intel Celeron D 533Mhz processor with 256kb cache.
Any points from you all is appreciated.
Thanks,
Subramanyam.
