Rec'd the following reply, Can you tell me if you did chk the MD5sums when you created the CDs?

   Not true, actually. My school laptop is running Win2k with an NTFS
partition, and I can still boot to it. Linux can read (but not write!)
those partitions, and Windows usually installs a boot stub in it's
partition. The stub means you can chain boot to it. I'll describe the
process a little better once you get past those other errors.

   It could be a bad CD. Have you checked the MD5sums for your ISO
images? There is a copy of md5sum for Windows floating around. Bad RAM
is also possible, but it shouldn't be that consistent. Try throwing
memtest86 on the machine for a few hours ( http://memtest86.com/ ).
