Corrupted image could be a reason, also I've had similar issues for instance when booting from cdrom2 (hdd), however I seem to recall it really wants to use cdrom1(hdc) for the next steps, so I received a similar error. CDRW's (rewritable cd's) can sometimes raise issues too. > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
