    It's Working!!

    Strange but this is what I did:

    I put my "Woody"-CD#1 and restarted my PC. It booted from the CD. ( ??)
    I shutdown the PC and then..
    Then I put "Sarge"-CD#1 and now it is booting from the PC..

    Problem solved but not sure how..

    Thanks for all the fast responses from many of you..
