I bought a computer a few weeks ago from a friend of mine. The specs are:
AMD Athlon 700
Fic Slot A SD11 Motherboard
Ram: 128 PC133
Video: 3dForce B-32 Plus (32 meg video ram)
Cd-Rom; 50x
However my problem is, I cannot install win98 or win2000. I get all these errors, the computer did install win95 but I did something in the bios and now the comp wont install win95/98/2000. It says my secondary hard drive is the cd-rom drive in the screen after it says Hit del to enter bios, the screen with the table of pc info?
Do you know why it is doing this?
I have bios version 1.17
And when installing windows 2000 I get these errors (every time i try to format, reinstall i get one of these errors):
"PFN_LIST_CORRUPT"
or
"CORRUPT_EXECUTIVE_MEMORY_SPOOL"
or
"IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"
or
when copying the system files (after i reformat with NTFS or FAT32) it stops aftr driver.cab or it says it cant copy a certain file and I can choose to skip it. I skipped some files but then its like every file is being skipped.
I think he added some memory to it (128) and then all these errors occured, thats why he sold it to me for $900 to buy another one, but why does it do this??? He also said that when he bought it worked fine, he change sound cards<soundblaster live> and added 128 more ram Pc133 and then had problems installing OS's. I have tonight, took out the modem, and soudncard. So all there is , is the motherboard, cpu, cd, and video card. ANd still have errors when trying to install win 2000. is it a memory problem? driver problem? I had win95 installed and tried to put win2000 over but never worked and now I'm, stuck.
Please help me, its a big pain
Thank you,
Anthony
