Well I have finally a solution for him. A bunch of disketttes were
used, 6 in all and disk number 4 was useless so that was to no avail.
As I stated there was access to the removable disk readers (usually
used for Photo) in addition to the floppie drive and the CD and DVD
was ignored - I suggest that is a serious error.
We stored the data on a 128 MB SmartMedia and from there burnt a boot
disk on the CD writer - it works.
Incidentally it was a fully paid up version 8.

Thanks for the help given.
