Hi,

I am trying to install windows xp on my Toshiba Tecra 8100 laptop. I tried to boot from the windows xp cd, and it displayed this message: file setupdd.sys could not be loaded the error code is 14. then it restarts and it keeps doing this until I shut it off. Guys Please help me out with this.

Thank you

If it boots with one and not the other than you have bad RAM. If you have more than one RAM stick in the system, remove 1 and try to boot, However when the second RAM slot is used with either RAM card XP generates the same error message and won't load ?

The minimum system requirements to run both Windows XP Home and Professional is 233Mhz, 64Mb RAM and 1.5GB hard drive space.You must be able to run windows xp. Try installing only one ram if you have two to see if either one is defective; it should work for most users. setupdd.sys error is most likely a due to a defective hardware like RAM.
