I went through the same problems. Pl. refer to http://biosdriver.net/?curpage=1&squery=TravelMate%203010%20BIOS%203125
I had to disable the processor internal cache,virus protection and UDMA support through BIOS settings in order to install Win 98SE.
The installation takes a long time(about an hour and a half).
Good luck.

I have videos that have both English, and German. How do I play only the English audio?
