Yes, Windows 10 can do that. Might be the MBR messed up, but also boot files (boot.ini). Something simple as a win98 boot diskette with Fdisk.exe (fdisk/mbr) may or may not fix it.
https://www.allbootdisks.com/download/98.htmlNext thing is to check is if partition table looks ok and if there's an active partition set. The active partition should be the one containing NT's boot files (ntdetect, ntoskrl, boot.ini). And then boot.ini should point to partition containing the windows system folder.
But this is knowledge from a long time ago which ma or may not be correct.
The partition table looks ok and the boot files are there. I will check where the boot.ini points.

Am I correct in assuming that the BSOD screen shows the router with only your HDD connected? If so, then it appears to have started booting from the HDD, but has subsequently encountered a disc error during the boot process.
Have you tried copying your disc image to a new drive and then booting from that?
There is also a cd drive and floppy drive connected. It seems to be booting on the hdd yes.
Yes i have tried to put the image on another hard disk, the result is the same.

does the PC have a PCI controller? did you put it back in the exact same location (same port, cable)?
if yes, try moving it, if no, try putting back exactly where it was.
is your SCSI termination correct? I have shivers remembering some of the hassles we had when SCSI CD burners came out, and the hodge-podge systems we built back then..ughh..
I have tried putting it back to the same and to a different slot, with everything being exactly the same.
I have not changed anything that would have to do with scsi termination.
I assume if i could get this thing booting on the cd i could fix it. I even have a homag specific service cd which contains all the system needed for the machine, the cd is new. Any ideas on that? the cd drive was seemingly working, as it read files from a cd on a desktop environment. Tried it when was still able to get there
