Is it possible that the hd has bad sectors? Run scandisk in dos to
see.
And you could try to clone it staright to the hd, I thnik there was a
.bat script to start the installation process straight after the boot as
what I have understood, you have the files on the hd but are running
on ramdisk or do you have a umsdos installation?
and if you have a umsdos installation you could try using the kernel
compiled by me, avaible at the mulinux homepage, as it is compiled
for my thinkpad, but it has one major flaw that I noticed too late, it
lacks initrd support, as I compiled it for already running hd clone.
Also disapling all APM features of the bios could help, but as I
remember I didn,t have any problems with APM execpt the
hibernation, which reboots the system on resume.
