Windows Only Sees 256MB of RAM

OS Install Mode

OS Install Mode

One of my techs ran across this the other day. Check your BIOS setting for something called a “OS Install Mode”. Make sure it is disabled. When enabled the system will only recognize 256MB of ram. Older operating systems had a limit on how much ram they could recognize for installation.
