Made unallocated space into Linux partition, no affect on boot.
Now on floppy disk no. 8 and still nothing, some of those disks had
'thorough' scandisks (using windows utility) preformed on them. What is
the probability that faulty disks are the problem after using 8 disks?
muLinux boot now added to the failed-to-boot list
Attempted to turn off shadow RAM nearest thing I could find was for the
VDU so I disabled it, and the machine failed to boot. I re-enabled
it and the end result was turning my partition table to mush! So now I
no longer have windows, more space for Linux! I now have
one large Linux partition and an empty hard drive.
 BTW: the machine doesn't seem to have any cards.
