I am frequently getting a blue screen that I think might be due to memory corruption. I have downloaded the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool, which requires you to create a boot disk in order to run. I don't have a floppy drive in this computer so I tried creating a bootable CD. However, when I try to boot with the CD in the drive I get the error
Disk 0 seek failure
This seems to indicate that it can't read the disk. The drive is pretty old (7+ years) but it seems to work okay. It seemed to have written the ISO file to the disk fine, it just won't read it during boot up.
Any ideas? Here is my computer's profile:
Dell Dimension 8250 (purchased in 2003)
768 MB RAM (4 sicks total, 2 x 256 + 2 x 128)
1 CD Rom drive
1 DVD drive
Windows XP Pro SP 3
Thanks,
Dave
