I was given a HP N3210 lappy. It was freezing up on the previous owner and discovered that after 45 sec to a minute it would freeze on me. The fan wasn't kicking in but it didn't feel hot. So I got the fan out of the closet and let it run full blast on and I wsa able to keep it running. Now the lappy will run, so I fdisk'ed it and began to install win98. I ran the setup from the cd and the floppy. The system scans the pci bus successfully and then it tries to scan with mechanism #1 - this is the line where it hangs. "Scanning pci bus with mechanism #1" It also popped up with mechanism #2 when I used the cd - weird huh? Then after a few reboots I got it to say mechanism #1 using the cd... Anyone have an idea? I know this thing is probably junk, but I would hate to throw it out.
BTW - At first I thought the freezing was due to the mouse and/or keyboard, so I removed them and used my external stuff, still no dice.
Thanks.
