    1. FD 1.44mb System Type-(06)

    There isn't a whole lot on google about this that is of any use. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Any help is more than welcome?

    Enter your BIOS and change the boot sequence so that the floppy drive comes before the CD/DVD drive.

    Sorry, i should have been clearer there. the bootable disk is a CD-Rom, so i can wipe that drive. I had checked the BIOS and the sequence was already in the right order though.

    What did you use to burn the disc image?

    Tried a few .... ImgBurn, Sonic, Active ISO Burner and Nero, Nero has a boot disk option as well.

    Would you recommend anything else to make one?

    I'm wondering if it's mangled the boot support on the disc, as best I can tell from a quick look is that the disc loads a floppy image as it's method of booting an environment.

    Nah, worst case you've got a corrupt image and will need to download it again, more likely burn it again. I'll get a copy of the image a burn it myself later when I'm home and have a look.

    I burnt it using CDBurnerXP (free from cdburnerxp.se) and it works fine. It goes straight to a blue screen where it prompts for kernel/load options.

    So you burnt the Windows files with its 'bootable options' i'm guessing.

    I just used the same defaults as shown in the screenshot on the right side of the page linked.
