Just for grins after burning the cd at work, I tried it on my AthlonXP 
machine at work. I new it wouldn't work but wanted to see if the machine 
noticed a boot sector.

It did.

When I got home I tried it on the server.
Same error.

I think I might have spotted my problem.

At work it seemed to want to find the floppy drive fd0 for some purpose.

I built my server without a floppy.
I didn't think it would be necessary on a machine which can boot from a 
CD. And for OSes with bootable CDs. :(

It seems that the Error Disk read that I am seeing is probably related 
to not finding fd0. Am I correct?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
