I have a Pentium 100 with 32 mg of ram running WIN 98. I tried to
install a four year old Sound blaster 16 card.   When I booted back
up got the message that ' file VMM32.vxd is required to run Windows.

If not in path you may need to reinstall Windows.'  I could not get
beyond this point.  I removed the SB card at this point.

I f-disked and formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows. Tried the

SB card again and got the same results. I removed card again.  F-
disked and formatted again and tried to install Win 98. Part way
through the installation I'm getting the message 'A serious disk
error has occurred writing to drive C.  Retry ?'  I am unable to go
any further.  I have tried this numerous times with the same result.

I wonder if this could be a bad hard drive???

This computer was bought used and has a no return policy but if any
part goes bad during the first month it will be replaced without cost.



I need all the help I can get as I am not very knowledgable about the

inner workings of the computer.

Thanks

Adele
