Unfortunately These are definately CDROMS. I think the drive has thrown in the towl. I have a DVD ROM drive, and tried replacing the crapped out one with that, but on booting up with Lennie, or FC2, I get a bunch of respawning problems, resulting in time delays before trying again. I've given up at the mo, and replaced the DVD drive with the none working drive, and wait upon delivery of the replacement CD-RW drive. At least the machine boots up ok, but the cd writer is living in the twilight zone, like totally out to lunch. I mean we're not talking about big bucks here. It's just annoying when something stops working for no apparent reason. Thanks for the suggestion Wayne. Nigel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
