Well this is bloody miserable.

I took the drive out of the machine (nasty) and formatted it in NTFS, made
the partition active, and copied the i386 directory to the drive, then
reinstalled it. (nasty)

The L1 Cannot boot from the CD, it is USB external, and there is NO option
for an internal CD.
The bios has a selection for 'boot from CD", but apparently that refers to
an IDE CD, which is physically impossible.

The six  disk set from MS crashes on disk 5

Anything else I've tried, leaves me at a dos prompt, but no access to the
hard disk to start the install process.

Any ideas?
