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!:)

this is kind of a quick rig for ya
if you have an internel CD-ROM drive take the cabels out of that and stick it
into the hard drive
while the computers off of course
then drag the first hard drive icon to the second and let it copy the data
then see if you can boot from that drive
