re: Question about 'What to do about error messages during Windows startup'

I just tried to add two 128 MB ram sticks to a friends '99 Dell Dimension XPS T500. There was already one 256MB stick in it. All the Dell manuals say that the board can run up to 768MB ram in any configuration with no problems. As soon as I put the sticks in and reboot, I get the "FASFAT.SYS is missing or corrupt" message. I take the sticks out and reboot using last working configuration and it works fine. I put them back in and... no good. I just told my friend she should spend $100 on ram and I'd have no problem putting it in... I'd like to get it working for her. Any ideas?
