XP Setup error message

P

I have installed a 30GB hard drive into a computer with
Windows 98 SE. I ran debug, fdisk then formatted the hard
drive. After formatting completed, I removed the floppy
boot disk and inserted my Windows XP cd into the cdrom and
restarted the computer. XP setup starts and after loading
a few files displays the following error message:
File setupdd.sys could not be loaded. Error code is 4.
Setup will now cancel.
I have gone through this complete process three times and
keep getting the same thing. I have run a hard disk
diagnostic utility on the hard drive and it passed. What
can I do to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Jack

Disregard this plea for help. By spending several hours
searching the knowledge base, I found that KB article
330181 had the answer. I had a stick of RAM that XP did
not like.
Thanks again,
Jack
