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.
