I think this is the 'current' hardware compatibility link for x86 and
caution,
if that's a new dell box, dell aint too good on following 'industry
standard'
PC clone rules. The biggest problems are usually in the video card and
(you've learned this) scsi or ata disk controller. try at first:

Cause 1: This error can be caused if the Drive Image 2002 virtual floppy
files have been compressed by Windows XP. (The "Disk Cleanup" feature in
Windows XP has an option to compress files on NTFS partitions if those
files have not been accessed for a specific amount of time.) When Drive
Image reboots to true DOS mode to perform an imaging task, it is unable
to find the virtual floppy files it needs to perform the task since DOS
cannot access files that Windows XP has compressed.
