[dba-Tech] NT4 problem

Hi all
 
got a small problem with an NT4 pc.
 
It was left on my desk with a recovery disk and a note telling me that there
was a problem with boot up, and that the recovery disk wasn't working. So I
turned it on, and sure enough, there was a problem with boot-up. Apparently
Display.dll is missing or corrupt. So I went to bootdisk.com and downloaded
a set of bootdisk images, which I've extracted to 3 floppies. I booted off
the floppies, and when it asks me for the NT4 cd, I put one in, but it
wouldn't read it, and the CD drive made lots of funky noises. So I replaced
the CD drive, and tried again. That didn't work either - didn't spin the
disk up or anything. I replaced it again, and this one spins the disk up,
but refuses to recognise the cd is an install disk. So I made a copy of the
CD, which also doesn't work.
 
Short of putting the hard drive into another box as a slave, is there
anything I can do to get it working again? It's not on the network either,
so that's another problem.
