How are you mounting the disk you downloaded? You have to mount that disk from a Drivewire 4 server using the becker port protocol, and then to boot it you must use a special becker port version of HDB dos. You can not mount it directly in VCC. Instructions are here (again):

You must set the file hdbdw3bc3.rom as an external disk rom.
