I had put in an old disk that had been used as a raid for the boot 
drive. It was not formated. I found another and it now shows that as 
disk1 D with a two windows paritions.

It must be booting, from the usb, as without the OI usb tumbdrive it 
says there is no bootable disk.

As I seam to have something else coming up as disk0 C - there must be 
another M2 like drive which is has placed as C.

I wonder if the USB boot assumes it is the second disk?

So assuming that the M2 should be there only with the USB, I took out 
the phyical drive. It does the same. So that is not it.

May be later I will try taking out the M2 as well.

Thanks.
