It's very frustrating because every CD I can find boots up except the FreeBSD CD. If it's not a bad drive nobody seems to know what else it could be. It's deeper than that.

Isn't there a developer somewhere that can tell me what his code is doing? ________________________________ From: Andrew Gould To: Rich Sent: Tue, July 20, 2010 3:52:21 PM Subject: Re: system hangs on; "Probing devices, please wait (this can take a while)...
