RAM problem with Acer TM 2700

I have an acer travelmate 2700 laptop. It came with 2 x 256 pc2700 (333) ddr ram chips. I took the bottom panel off as described in the manual and replaced the only RAM chip I could see with a 512 same spec chip. When i booted back up I am getting the message:

Windows could not start becasue the following file is missing or corrupt:
System32\Drivers\NTFS.sys

You can repair this file by starting windows Setup and selection 'r' etc etc blah blah blah.


When I try to repair, the setup crashes when it trys loading the something debugger DLL
If I stick the original 256 back in again it boots straight into windows.

It has confused the hell out of me. Also I cant seem to find where the second ram chip os hidden. It is not around the first one and I have looked around the machine and the net for it but cant find it.

Any help would be great.

Cheers Jamie
