Re: [cobalt-users] restore CD trouble

[Theo Jones <space_biscuit@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Everyone

All the pointers including this one on my trouble are totally valid.  Another part of my problem
may also be that both of my CD drives are 1.CDRW & 2.DVD, which are probably not bootable.

I'm going to try the roomate's laptop now I think, or see if my BIOS setings have a "CDROM"
setting
to reboot to on my PC.

Cheers,
