Hi Jim!

When booting into

Good question :-)
I'm afraid I can't help you here. I have never heard of a program sysintx
and what it does to your system. The 'source drive not ready' message sometimes
occurs with large files on cdrom drives. If this happens with your hard drive
you should really check your system! Be sure you don't use any DOS utilities
for disk maintenance etc.

Good luck!
