======================================
Greetings.
Well I've finally dug a hole deep enough that I can't
get out of.....
My PC has been on a steady decline over the last few
weeks so this weekend I decided to strip it down and
start fresh.......BAD decision.
Prior to taking it down, I ran Touchstone's WinCheckIt
to test my hardware. All the basics checked out fine.
Good CPU, good MoBo, good RAM, and good C drive.
I booted from my floppy and ran FDISK.
I deleted both partitions from my primary drive.
I then rebooted.
I created two new partitions.
I set the primary partition active.
I rebooted to DOS and then ran an older DOS version of
WinCheckIt. IT TOO gave my hardware a clean bill of
health. But it IS old software -- it thinks I have a
486 running at 13,487Mhz and it only tested the first
16Meg of RAM.
Anyway, I rebooted using the Win 98 (original) boot
disk and that's when I ran into trouble.
The windows setup gets to the point of creating the
windows directory and dies. I get an error message
stating:
SUWIN CAUSED SEGMENT LOAD FAILURE IN MODULE SUWIN.EXE
AT 0004:6BEB.
I ran FDISK again. Delected and recreated the
partitions and THIS TIME I formatted C: first.
Windows setup stopped at the exact same spot with the
exact same error.
Ok..... Fdisk a third time. New partitions again.
Formatted C and THIS TIME I copied the Windows CD to
C:\WIN.CD and ran the setup from there.
Same problem.... HELP!!!!
Naturally I can't access my normal Email so please

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
