Guys, thanks, between you I have sorted it - the machine I was testing it on had onboard USB memory card readers, unplugging them made the problem go away, however that is not a practical solution so I have modified mapznrun to remove the section that searches the disk.
I had seen that line, but I only had the problem on the machine I did the linux boot on - turned out that the machine I was doing the DOS boot test has a motherboard error & the drives are not always available so the error didn't happen (untill I tried again this morning running mapznrun from the command line) - So I had blamed the Linuz boot & got confused. I have some other problems going on with files not copying properly so I may be back for more help :-) Cheers Kevin Lawry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Niels de Groot" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Daniel Kruszyna'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, July 25, 2004 1:37 PM Subject: RE: [Unattended] mapznrun problem with linux boot - there is no disk in the drive > Hi Daniel, > > The 4th line in mapznrun.bat is checking all local disks for a \dosbin\install.pl file, for use in installing > unattend from a Cd/DVD instead of a network.
