I have a old dell latitude LM 133mhz with a 1.4gb HD I have no floppy or bootable cd rom drive (bios is to old can't find update) So I got a 2.5 to 3.5 Notebook IDE to standard IDE adapter popped it in my Desktop recognized the drive all's gravy. I go to install windows 98 on the drive after I've fdisked and formattd the drive using the regular setup command does it's little scandisk thing then says copying files need to install windows then boom I get this message

DX=0277 ES=032F SS=027F SP=0198

I ran the IBM disk utility as I have a IBM HD and everything checked out fine.

What should I Do next?

This is a memory error. Take the memory out, clean the edges with a pencil erasor, blow out the dust from inside the pc and reseat the memory. The memory might be bad though.

Well the MS article had other reasons for this including a virus. But, since you had reformatted the drive I don't think it could be a virus. Check it out:

What are you booting off of? A floppy or the cd? If you can try the cd.
