    I have searched all over the net for help with this problem and cannot find any solutions that fit my exact needs.

    I recently bought an IBM Thinkpad R51 from a friend of mine. When he tried to boot windows it showed this error.

    "emm386:is cannot find unused 64 kilo byte range of upper memory to use for an ems fame. FRAMES=NONE"

    I figured it had something to do with the Windows XP OS so i bought a new harddrive and tried to install windows on it.

    I keep getting the same error, it will not read the CD at all. I tried to load Linux on it as well with the same result.

    I created a windows boot disc to try to fix the errors, however that ended without any results as well. I then went into BIOS and disabled the expanded memory option. That made the error quit happening but it will not boot from any discs i put in it.

    PLEASE HELP!!!
