I noticed that in some (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=718368&highlight=disk+error+01%2C+AX+4240%2C+drive+9F) archived (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=364342&highlight=disk+error+01%2C+AX+4240%2C+drive+9F) discussions (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=286036&highlight=disk+error+01%2C+AX+4240%2C+drive+9F), the following error was reported when trying to boot the liveCD:
Disk error 01, AX = 4240, drive 9f
I ran into this as well on a computer I was fixing, and noticed that when I had either (a) no HD plugged in at all or (b) a bad HD, it would give me this message. Once I attached a good HD to the master IDE cable, the error was gone completely. Hope this helps someone.
The BIOS I was using was Award 6.00PG, and I could not find a firmware update for it. Not sure the make/model of the mobo since it is an old computer with no obvious markings on the mobo.
