My apologies. I'll try to be clearer. Yes, the notebook did indeed boot off CD-ROM before - 'tis how I got linux installed to start with :-) It has the bios switch, and it is set to boot off CD-ROM, but it doesn't - it behaves like the drive is empty. It doesn't have a stiffy drive, but it does have boot from USB options. I have put the smart boot manager on a USB flash drive, but that doesn't work either. Hence my thoughts of having GRUB call the CD-ROM. Thanks Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
