Any ideas would be very welcome.
Have you thought of installing/transferring it to a bootable USB memory stick?
I had (IIRC) Potato on a HDD in a tray, which went from machine to machine in their caddies (3 boxes) - no troubles experienced.

I hadn't thought of tranferring to a USB stick mainly because the drive in question is 250 GB and I haven't yet seen a USB stick that size. :-))
I have just downloaded, and booted from, a Debian Squeeze live DVD iso and although I get a menu displayed none of the options works.
Going to a 'boot:' prompt and typing in 'live' produces a message '/live/ vmlinuz' not found. I've checked the DVD and vmlinuz is where it's supposed to be. It's strange that on the disc from my wife's computer also gives 'whatever not found'.
There is something rather strange about this computer.
