As your computer boots from the floppy you will see a sequence of drivers and files scroll down the screen.
There may be some error messages that flash by on the screen. Do not worry about those. These are related to
drivers looking for specific devices and if none of the devices are connected to or installed on your computer
they will report an error. This should not affect the imaging your computer.
