Perhaps next time, you could just ask for help instead of complaining.  I 
have no idea what caused the problems you encountered.  I've always found 
that people are willing to help anyone if the request for help is politely

FWIW: I do vaguely recall seeing a problem similar to yours.  Umm, the CD-
ROM problem boot I mean.   <grin>
