Exactly. Take a look a
Thanks to everyone who is providing input on this question. I
appreciate it greatly! :)
The boot loader idea sounds like it'll have to be what I use. I'll get
the CD to write a token to the drive if it checks out, and upon next
boot-up, if I can get the CD's boot loader to find the token on th

Thanks for the response!
I would like to have it completely automated:
The machine goes down at 4am for the check and boots to cd, then the cd

That way there
