I have heard this many times before, and I have definitely made sure of this. I even tried the original 2gb hard drive to no avail

That actually sounds exactly like the issue I am having, so I just need to boot from 9.0? 

OK, so I have gotten a chance to try making a new bootable CD on a different type of CD, and I think this is definitely more software oriented.  So I decided to try booting a 10.0 burnt disk through 9.2.2, and I recieved an error telling me that startup disk could not select the cd. “-2...
