Thanks for responding. Yes, the DOS partition is marked as active. I assume 
whether the "fdisk /MBR" is done before or after the LRP files are copied 
onto the DOS partition makes no difference. Correct? When you used 
partitions, did you just used the "format c:" and "syslinux -s c:" commands 
from a DOS boot disk as mentioned in the HOWTO?
Thanks again.
