I'm having trouble installing an OS on a new home built computer.  I had NT
server installed once brieflly, but reformatted the hard drive to install in
a different configuration.  Now no OS will install.  NT server fails, so
does Win95 and Win98.  Each time it just gets started actually installing
the operating system when it fails.  MaxBlaster disk utility hard where
checks out hard drive as ok.  On the Win98 install, I get the error message,
"standard mode: invalid DPMI return from 037F-9FEB."

Sounds like it might be a RAM problem, but also it started after I
reformatted the hard drive.  It's a Tyan Trinity AT motherboard with a AMD
K6-2 350MHz, a Maxtor 8.4 GBh hard drive and 64 meg PC-100 Corsair  memory.

Any ideas what's going on here?

Thanks,

Jon
