Invalid Boot Disk after joining Server 2003 Domain

[sonnyjim]

Hi All,

Just added 8 Windows 98 clients to a Windows 2003 Server domain which worked fine.
Each W98 machine , on seperate occasions has booted to the message " Invalid Boot Disk " . The only way to get around this is to alter the BOOT.INI file but even so , the problem repeats itself in a few days.
I've ran a full scan of the machines usiing DOS-Based Norton AV and found no virus ( which I find hard to believe ).

The other machines on the Domain are XP and 2000 - of which none have been affected by this problem.

Can anyone shed any light on this really irratating problem please??
Cheers
Jim

Hang on there...

Now, I do have the flu this week, but curious, I don't remember 95, 98, or ME having boot.ini. Are these dual boot OSes?

And does this happen on all 8 computers? And only started after attaching to the domain?
