Thanks Again Blue and AP.
It was operator error. how have things changed since I last created a bootable disk, I had several issues and since I was using a Mac book and Win XP this added to the mixt of obstacles I needed to over come.
I have everything up and running now, I am working full time, so this is just a lab I built to learn the new systems.
Thanks again for your help and the amount of information you provided, I really appreciate your help.
