That I will probably try tomorrow. The day ended up in havoc: I tried to boot a floppy to do an ASUS BIOS upgrade and somehow messed with the power cable. A big flash occurred originating from the power supply. I opened the power supply, found a blown fuse, ran to the electronics store, bought a new fuse (+ one in reserve), inserted the fuse, tried the power supply, with connections off and a firework, prematurely - your presidential elections aren't finished yet - , developed in front of my face. Will continue tomorrow, when America has a new president. -- Christoph Al Plant schrieb: > Julien Cigar wrote: >> I've this problem too on almost all my machines.
