problem bootingl aptop, currently using windows 98

[nothingmuch]

Have been trying to upgrade my laptop from 98 to 98 se, now cannot even open windows....and boot does not work.
Error message ----error in memory address....EMM:386 # 3 00B8:B386 has detected error . To minimize data loss B386 has shut down your computer.

:blackeye: I have tried the boot disks and nothing....same error message. Unfortunatley I have no paperwork...

Any ideas

Thanks
