At first i want to say "Thanks" for this great utility.
I helps me a lot. Only now i'm stuck on 1 piece.
I think this one is related to those BIOS that has problems. I have at work only IBM machines (and as anyone know IBM isn't 100% IBM Compatible :-)

Oh, before i go further, i'm using  ISOLINUX v1.72 with Boot Scripter 1.0 b9 and i'm not sure if i'm on the right address. I created a CD with 2x memdisk 1.44, 1x memdisk 2.88 and the W2000 Pro loader (the i386 in root of CD). I created a menu 1 - 4 and as default (after 10 sec) it has to boot to the first HD. All disks working great, even the automated installation of W2000. After a reboot of the system i let it wait for the time out. And then it went wrong. If the CD tries to boot from local HD 0x80 i got the message "can't read device" and the CD restarts to the menu. Is this the 'Known' BIOS problem and if so can i overcome it.

kind regards,
Eddy Sweelssen

P.S. it took me some hours to read all the docs on the net, but 'Whoooaa' it was wurth it. Now i know 20% more about my machine and what it is doing (wrong!) .
