I tried all 4 of the jumper settings for Master and a couple of the ones for Cable Select, but the system would hang as soon as it booted from the Windows install CD every time.

Replacing your HD with his fixed that problem so he said we could wipe it. Somthing that I had never seen before was that after the Windows installer loaded all drivers and asked us to agree to the lic. agreement by hitting F8, it would look for previous installs of Windows and then blue screen with the error msg., "Registry_Error". Luckily I had a Win. 98 Startup floppy and fdisk fixed that problem.

The RAM worked great. He's now got 384MB which coupled with his P4 1.2Ghz Processor and XP Home ain't too shabby.
