Hi everyone, |
2 |
|
3 |
It seems like my computer isn't set to boot on CDs for the moment. So I |
4 |
tried the Smart Boot Manager floppy. I was able to locate the correct CD |
5 |
driver (have two), but nothing happens except the drive starts spinning and |
6 |
stops after a while. Do I need to enter a password or such? If I after a |
7 |
while press enter again, the CD starts spinning again. This can go on for |
8 |
eternity... I belive. Does anyone know anything about this? |
9 |
|

Regards, |
11 |
