1 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?

10 Regards,
11 /David R.
