Turdmania Urgent Help Needed

sounds like its really trying but cant read it.

It would be a fuck on to reconnect the CDRW drive and get that to read it eh?

I would move the connection on the wire that this CD drive is on, to the CDRW drive,

get into setup, get it to autodetect again? or would i not need to as its in the same place?

then restart with the CD in the right drive??

take the disk out, turn off, just take the IDE cable out of the CDrom into the other 1. that easy.

detect it in the bios, save the setting, check it's set to boot to it - try again.


sounds like an old CD rom struggling to read it.

Am swapping it over now.
