Well... here is how it goes.
I have a fairly moderate comp, stats:

CPU: AMD Duron 1300MhZ
Memory: 128 RAM MB
HDD: 2 HDDs, 1st 40GB, 2nd 20GB
Gfx Card: Hercules GeForce3 Ti 200

Gah, well, i don't think anything else is needed here.

What basically happened was my windows XP kept crashing after i reformatted etc and installed it on my 40GB hard drive.

Eventually, it was in-accessible, gave the BSOD, ever looping, so I reinstalled it, and it gave the eventual problem again.

So therefore I installed Windows 98 on the 40GB, but now that's giving me stress

After I've used my comp, and switched it off, the next morning, it gives me Disk Read Errors in DOS when it's loading up, and then it often gives loads of missing file errors etc, and not enough memory, and shuts down the comp.

However, somehow, after I ran scandisc, it found nothing, but still was able to run into Windows 98.

I doubt my comp is too cold and it needs warming up?

I have now currently:

1st HDD -> split into 2 x 20GBs, drives C: + D:
2nd HDD -> 20GB, drives E:

I have windows 98SE installed on C:, windows xp installed on E:, and a transfer hard drive for D:, using Partition Magic + BootMagic.

[Also, a small problem is, that I can't access XP right now either Err, after i click it in bootmagic it gives "Remove all disk from medias and press any key to restart". I haven't got any discs in floppy drive, and after you press any key to restart, it either goes back to bootmagic, or partition magic -.-]

The second problem isn't that major, but the first is.

Sometimes, I get CRC Error 45, when scanning my Windows 98 from Windows XP using Partition Magic after it breaks down...

Bad Sectors always appear, but I'm using 98 right now so !?!

IIIIIIIIIIII NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED HELPPPPP.

Trafton says it might be my new 40GB hard drive is corrupted?

Possibly, I wanna see other people's views -.-
