A friend that I work with has a PC with Windows 98. He needs to re-install windows on it. His sister said she would burn a copy of her Windows 98 SE CD for him. Can this be done? I have heard that the Windows CDs are coded so that they can't be copied, but she said that she could do it.

Also, another question. In my PC, I have 4 memory sticks, 64 megs each. My PC only reads 2 of them, in slots C and D. No matter how I arrange them, it still only reads whichever ones are in C and D. By switching them around, I would think that they all are good, so why only 128 megs of ram, instead of 256? I can replace those sticks with four 8 meg sticks, and it shows 32 megs, so it seems that all the slots are good. How do I make it read all four sticks of 64 megs?

That's really strange on the RAM. Perhaps there is a voltage problem on that area of the motherboard... or it fails to read more than one slot in per channel.

Regarding Windows... it can be done ... but it is illegal.
