Hello,

It's gotta be what you describe. When I place a non-bootable disk in I 
get a hardware error which is different and allows me to continue to 
boot off the hard drive. This is as expected.

So I guess enough of an executable is loaded but it doesn't like something.

I will see about trying the floppies or a net install later when I have 
opportunity.
