no, but this happens with floppy boot as well.

Thanks for all the help mail.:) I think I will try to nail down the
problem first by:
1. check BIOS setting
2. reseat RAM
3. Change HD
I really hate to change HD, as I have this system setup already. Can
someone gimme a brief run though on how to transfer files from one HD
to another without loosing all my settings and programs? I can have
another HD hooked in there and copy everything over, but I don't know how
will linux handle it. Any help in this transfer would be great!:)
