Memory is so basic to the computer you sometimes can't finish the Bios, much less
load an operating system. XP is fussy about memory. Some computers that ran 98 will
reveal memory problems with XP. Try to substitute some other sticks of Ram for yours
one at a time until the problem goes away. Also check your hard drive cables. Are
they plugged in tight? Are they the correct type for the drive? 40 pin cables won't
work on fast drives with XP, you'll get weird errors. Good Luck.
