just a note - I checked all the fix pages and none seemed to really apply -
but I opened the boot.ini file and low and behold there WAS NONE! so...using
the sample boot.ini code that the fix page had on it - I just did an edit
and created one - and rebooted and held my breath - it worked! booted up
like a charm with no error message

thanks!
