Where's all the help?
(let's get the shit on the stick fellas)
MY old laptop dell 1100 quit reading cd's
my recovery discs for that system is on cd.
The Dell still reads dvd's though...
I'm able to copy to dvd, but can't get the disc
to Boot for recovery to begin.
What kinda file structure is required to cause
the Dvd to boot for recovery like the CD did???
Thanks for any thoughts : )
