Hi Deedra, |

|

No, that didn't work. Nothing happens now either. I noted that the computer |
4 |
couldn't be rebooted using Ctrl+Alt+Del after entering the CD, but this is |
5 |
perhaps because of the boot loader and not because any Linux kernel is |
6 |
running. Actually the CD never seems to stop spinning, but it's spinning at |
7 |
a low rate. |

Regards, |
