Well I got it to work, shall I say doh!  The check somes where correct but
on my windows system I could not see that and "i" was missing initrd.bin.
Still had trouble getting the process to work.  I got it to work by doing
the following:

press "C" & "D" and hold
press reset
release reset
release "C" & "D"


Now I need to get an MP3 player and wireless work - shouldn't be too hard.

Thank you for help,
    Jamie
