Hello to all,

This is my first post here.

I bought a PaceBlade PB56 from eBay.

It's a 10'' touchscreen tablet with a crusoe cpu running at 867Mhz and 128Mb (internal mem) + 256Mb.
It has ONE usb port, no floppy, no CD, no PS2 so I need to use the USB for the keyboard during instalation.

Now my problem is this:

I'm trying to install windows 2000 on it (I have the touchscreen drivers for it)
So I runned WinSetupFromUSB_1-0-beta8 to copy all the files to my hard drive (It uses grup4dos to start).
The BIG BIG problem is that it has a problem in the first 128Mb of ram (and it's not removable).

When I try to install it starts then gives an error that Microsoft point to a memory hardware failure.

My idea is to create, using grup4dos, a memory drive that uses those first 128Mb (or something that exclude those first 128Mb of memory from being used by the windows 2000).

This drive will not be used for anything except use up memory.

My questions are:

1) is this possible ?
2) can someone help me with the line(s) that I need to include in the menu.lst ?

Thank you in advance to all,

Raul

My questions are:

1) is this possible ?

I believe so.

2) can someone help me with the line(s) that I need to include in the menu.lst ?

Did you read the GRUB4DOS documentation? If so, which part do you need clarification for?

I also suggest using the CLI instead of menu.lst, until you know what you've tried is working. Then you can put it in menu.lst. The CLI has a help command.
