Well, actually, the problem is that the Booter stopped working after #26,
I think.  Most people I've heard from say that Booter 1.9.4 still works
for them (others say 1.9.5...kinda strange, either way).  However, I think
the latest booter (1.11.1?) should work for you.

Hmmm...have you tried again recently?  I can't remember what causes this,
but I think it's a known problem with a workaround...

What booter are you using?  You might want to talk to Nigel if you can't
get the latest booter to boot your machine either.

Later.
