I replaced the hard drive ram and screen on a macbook 2.0ghz for my mom and this message pops up every now and then, what do I do to fix it?

Most likely the ram you installed was either "bad"...or was not Macintosh compatible.

Pull all the new ram you installed...put the old ram back in...then reboot the computer & see if the messages continue.

HTH,

p.s. Hopefully it wasn't the hard drive or the display.

Thanks, I took out the made sure the ram was both from the original mac and I THINK (time will tell) it may have fixed it.
A semi related question: I upgraded my hdd to a 320 7200 rpm and did an archive and reinstall because the clone I did didn't work 100% and now it's not acknowledging near the space it did even before the archive reinstall. Before it showed 280gb+ now it shows less than 200gb, is there a folder with my old stuff somewhere or do I just need to erase and reinstall?
