Many thanks for your help Colin

Ok I've moved along now. Basically I get to the point where it wants to 
start the init but it says :

INIT: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit"
INIT: Entering runlevel: 5
INIT: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/rc"
INIT: cannot execute "/etc/X11/prefdm"
INIT: cannot execute "/etc/X11/prefdm"
INIT: cannot execute "/etc/X11/prefdm"
