I tell people unless it's running Linux and probably mounted in a Rack, I don't have a clue how to fix it. This is pretty much the truth as I only boot my Windows VM occasionally to edit my Exchange filtering rules. When pushed, I "fixed" my sister's laptop that wouldn't boot Windows (I did spend an hour trying, for which I was paid in cups of tea) by giving her a Fedora LiveCD so she could access the Internet, her email and facebook until she could get someone who "knew Windows" to reinstall it. She used the LiveCD for a week and didn't actually complain, but she did get Windows re-loaded in the end. -- Sam -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
