Right before the Windows 98 screen comes up the computer halts with 2 beeps. The message is Floppy Drive Error. Someone told me I might have bad RAM? Sound logical?

It is posting a parity error in the firs 64K of memory,since the error is reporting a floppy drive error,check the floppy cable or switch floppies

Is the floppy light always on? If so flip the cable around. Just what soulrider said...
