1-3-1 through 2-4-4 Memory not being properly identified or used So 1-3-2 is memory.  Power off, and unplug. Press/hold power button for ~15 sec. Open the case and reseat the RAM modules in their slots. Then remove the motherboard battery and press/hold power button for ~30 sec. Reinstall the battery (right-side-up!) and see what happens now. Ron EDIT: Did 1-3-2 start after you changed BIOS to OS Install Mode, or before you changed it?
Hi.  I'm new at this so bear with me.  I am trying to reinstall Windows XP Home Edition after formating the hard drive.  The installation will go just so far before displaying a "cannot copy file ___.dll" error.  I can put in another XP disk and it makes no difference.  I am beginning to think that the hard drive is shot (or maybe even the cd rom drive), but I don't know that for sure.  Can someone shed a little light here?
