Rebuild workstation 98se on connect2.4
« on: October 17, 2006, 09:01:11 AM »
Having a problem rebuilding a workstation.  I had to rebuild 4 workstations with the same rebuild disk.  three rebuild fine,  one hasn't.  It keeps shuting down and restarting.   It shows the application wizard installing then the machine restarts.  It has been doing this for the last few days.



Anyone with any ideas.



i have changed the Harddisk.  No joy.

Regarding your first post, we had around 5 or  6 different build disks for the RM machines.  If I was rebuilding one, it was a matter of trial and error to get the right one for the right machine.  Maybe you might have some more build disks lying around somewhere??



As for the Sophos - what a user-unfriendly package :(



Don't know what the error means though.

On the sophos issue, download the antivirus definitions manually to a different directory then copy and paste into your central directory to remove the corrupt ide file.



On the rebuild is your workstation using a different network card from the other machines? This may cause a driver error hence the need for different disks as Si was saying.



On the other hand Perhaps it is a fault in a RAM module causing the machine to reboot. Try memtest86 (http://www.memtest86.com/) You download it and install it to floppy. Then boot your machine up from the floppy and it will run a series of tests on the computer's RAM.
