Yesterday, I just got my laptop and it didnt come preisntalled with a OS. At the time I didn't think it was any problem. When I tried installing Win98/se, it would get past the copying files and then rebooted. When it got back into the installer it gave me some file crashing errors(rundll32 for example). When I tried XP I kept getting Files not being able to copy. I also took my HD out of my laptop and put it into my bros to copy the win98 files from him cdrom to my hd. When I put it back, I got the same type of errors. I have the latest bios(A16) and I ran the Fujitsu Diag. Test(both the fast and extended tests) and it pasts both. Does anyone know something that may help me?

Thanks!
 
It sounds like you have some bad RAM in your laptop. DL MEMTEST , put it on a floppy and boot up the notebook. If you get errors then that will confirm its the ram.
Hope that helps.
Good luck!
