[ILUG-BOM] I/O Error....Cannot read from fd0

Hello Everyone,

Some time back I read a message about this error showing up when Ubuntu was booted live. I cannot recollect whether it was on this list or elsewhere else. However today at a client's place when I tried Kubuntu 8.04 + KDE4 live on an unbranded Intel 865G mobo, it showed the same error lines after the initial kernel loading. After a second try, I let it move further and after 4 or 5 lines of the error, it booted further normally and brought the desktop up. One very good advantage of 8.04 is that NTFS partitions can be directly viewed in the GUI file browser (Dolphin) with write access. So it is ideal for taking backups from NTFS partitions to other NTFS partitions....something that was a PITA till now.
