I just tried it with several other mixed dvd's and cd's that were supposedly
bootable, and they all did, except the F10 dvd. I just burnt another, same
brand of media as the Fu9 I have installed on it, and from the same spindle
of HP dvd-r disks, just for grins. And it won't boot in that drive either.
The bios does look at the disk, it just doesn't like what it sees I guess.

This bios ignores that, I had a hell of a time catching it and memorizing it.

I learned decades ago, that when I mix alcohol with a cold, its an instant
strept throat & 2 weeks on Erythromycin 500's, 3x/day.

Naw, just a place for all her media, a 42" tv, the tuner/amp, dvd player and
somewhere along the line a decent turntable so I can rip about 300 pounds of
12" lp's accumulated over a 34 year period of teaching primary school kids
something about music. 8 drawers in the bottom of it, 2 big enough for lp's
on edge. I don't think they will hold them all either, but...

Don't have any that big, but I have noted that a layer of wood chips from the
planer or jointer sure help. Then the missus wanders in and ask's me when am
I going to clean this mess up. ;)p I don't think she connects the sawdust to
the slowly dwindling stack of cherry, and the slowly growing piece of
furniture. Sorta like carving a big block of granite into an elephant, you
hammer and chisel away that which is not part of an elephant. Eventually,
somebody has got to run a broom or vacuum. Two vacs in there, but tied to
the saw and sander ATM. And the next time I dump them will overflow a
contractor cleanup bag, the big black ones.

You will usually find me in a tan confederate style cap, you can't get the
sawdust out of a knit. Slap this one on your knee and its as good as new. :)
Same on I was in last summer while building this garage, see at:

That is this box.
Humm, I think I've wandered off topic again, blame it on a senior moment or
whatever.
