Hmmmm, Alphonse.....I hope you're just 'away' and not stumped.
With that boot.ini on my SP2 drive, if I try it as Master, it
stops right after BIOS at 'Boot from CD'......, where it hangs.
And I've tried changing drive letter of that drive from G: as
it was, to D: which was vacant, with same results........
Either way, it boots up fine in Slave position as HDD-1, but
hangs at same place if I make it Master/HDD-0.
