I just burnt another, same brand of media as the Fu9 I have installed on it, and from the same spindle of HP dvd-r disks, just for grins. And it won't boot in that drive either. The bios does look at the disk, it just doesn't like what it sees I guess. >when box boots, press <scroll lock> to hold bios notice and write it down. >check mainboard site for bios upgrade.

I learned decades ago, that when I mix alcohol with a cold, its an instant strept throat & 2 weeks on Erythromycin 500's, 3x/day. >> some drawer and door handles for an entertainment center I'm building >> yesterday, > >mythtv? Naw, just a place for all her media, a 42" tv, the tuner/amp, dvd player and somewhere along the line a decent turntable so I can rip about 300 pounds of 12" lp's accumulated over a 34 year period of teaching primary school kids something about music. 8 drawers in the bottom of it, 2 big enough for lp's on edge.

Don't have any that big, but I have noted that a layer of wood chips from the planer or jointer sure help. Then the missus wanders in and ask's me when am I going to clean this mess up. ;)p I don't think she connects the sawdust to the slowly dwindling stack of cherry, and the slowly growing piece of furniture. Sorta like carving a big block of granite into an elephant, you hammer and chisel away that which is not part of an elephant. Eventually, somebody has got to run a broom or vacuum. Two vacs in there, but tied to the saw and sander ATM. And the next time I dump them will overflow a contractor cleanup bag, the big black ones. >even if you are not bald headed, where >a knit cap. cardboard helps keep coldness away from feet. cap stops body > heat from rapid escape from brain area. :o) You will usually find me in a tan confederate style cap, you can't get the sawdust out of a knit. Slap this one on your knee and its as good as new. :) Same on I was in last summer while building this garage, see at: <http://gene.homelinux.net:85/Gene/Genes-Web-pages.html> That is this box.
