Thanks, Jan. I'll save that for further reference as when I just booted
it to insert Knoppix/SystemRescue it booted normally, much to my surprise.
I think I'll run memtest though just in case.
Also check your power supply and disk cabling. That message is usually
issued by the BIOS saying it can't find a hard disk with a boot sector.
That can be caused by cabling issues or perhaps a power supply that's
going bad.
