Al,
It sounds as if your motherboard has the video onboard and set in the BIOS
to use 16 MB of system memory.

The missing file is a CD-ROM driver.  It should have no affect on copying
from a floppy to your hard drive.  We need to have more information about
your computer before these problems can be fully diagnosed.  What operating
system are you running?  What are the hardware specs of your system (CPU,
motherboard, HD, CD, etc.)

Subject: [PCBUILD] Memory loss


I have a problem.
At first my computer told me I only had 112 meg of memory
and it should  have been 128.  A loss of 16 meg, so
I assumed the chip was bad, and bought a new 256 chip,
and put it in.  However the computer now only shows
240 meg,  A loss of 16 meg again.
So now it looks like the problem is not in the chip, but
something in the computer is gobbling up 16 meg of ram,
and fouling up the rest of it.
I can't even copy a floppy to my harddrive.
It also tells me that a file, C:\CDROM\CDROM\cdtech.sys,
is corrupted or missing..  I can find no such file on any
disk that I have.
