Default Windows Install/Setupdds.sys/Page error

I'm installing an operating system on my girlfriends brand new system.
Every time I get to the step where you format the drive I hit enter to
format and I get a STOP error, 0x000000BE. I looked it up, This is a
bad ram error stereotypically. So I Ran memtest 32 on it and the ram
checks out fine. However, now I'm at a loss for whats the matter with
the install. Any help is appriciated. Thanks.

Don't forget that your hard drive has RAM on it. That RAM (the hard drive
cache) wouldn't be tested by memtest (whatever). Also keep in mind that a
failing power supply can mimic bad ram. -Dave

Pity that the hard drive cache cant produce a STOP error, 0x000000BE

Pathetic, really.

Can be a number of things, bad caps on the motherboard, lot of ripple
on the power supply. You've just got to try the possibilitys systematically.

Will it run a knoppix live CD ?
