Doesnae work on any of the PC's I've met that have a "Boot from CD"
option - they look for something that CAN be booted from, and if the
CD in the drive can't be booted from, or there isnae one in the drive,
they'll step on to the next item in the chain - and if there's no hard
drives in the chain, they'll silently add one anyway...
Best wishes from Riley.
