Format/Restore Woes

I previously posted problem w/ restoring windows ME to a
formatted hard drive. Contacted Emachines several times,
totally useless. They condemned my hard drive, only after
getting me to buy new restore cd's. I found old cd of
Windows 98. Popped in floppy drive, it worked? What does
this mean and what can I do from here? Help

I responded to your original post yesterday - please stick with one thread!

Here's my response again....
I'd suggest finding out he maker of your HD, and checking eMachine's
assertion of possible HD failure using the manufacturer's test utility -
also check out your RAM using DocMemory2 from www.simmtester.com.
One other thing - have you upgraded the system hardware in any way since the
original install? - some of these restore CD's are *really* picky about it.
