How many optical drives(Cd Rom,CD Writer,DVD,DVDWriter)

do you have installed in this computer?Going for the prize, street1?

If I had really paid $1400 for software, I'd make *censored* sure i knew where my product key was!!! Or, for that money, I'd expect Digidesign to have a record of me being a LEGAL owner, and supply me with another one.
I did have 2... but about 5 months ago... when i would turn my computer on one of my DVD drives would start making wierd sounds and then it would open on its own... and my computer wouldnt finish booting until i closed it also windows wouldnt recognize it... so figured it was fried or something so i just removed it... so in short i only have onewell i was just kicked out of the military for making anti military music and they gave me one day to get off base... so needless to say i was in a hurry and alot of stuff got missplacedQuote from: life2atreus on May 27, 2007, 05:04:08 AM

well i was just kicked out of the military for making anti military music and they gave me one day to get off base... so needless to say i was in a hurry and alot of stuff got missplaced

That statement in the above quote is misleading at best life2atreus.

contrex:Thank You!That was a very good morning chortle. missleading how?i was told by my commander that i was being considered for seperation... and without orders i couldnt outprocess the base well finally i was told that the decision was made that i was being discharged... but i still didnt have orders then when i finally got my orders my effective date of seperation was the next dayThis sounds like the same problem I had before...it ended up being a bad sector on the hard drive.

i was told by my commander that i was being considered for seperation... and without orders i couldnt outprocess the base well finally i was told that the decision was made that i was being discharged... but i still didnt have orders then when i finally got my orders my effective date of seperation was the next day

I wasn't ragging you about you military service.You did answer the
call.Most people don't.During this memorial day weekend.........
I am real proud of you.Everyone don't fit the military life style.
No one should expect you to.

Have you tried a new CMOS battery?This is one of the least expensive
tests you can run on a confused computer.

A CMOS battery usually cost 3-7 US dollars.There is no need for that sort of language, and especially no need to go against forum rules by insulting another member, one that is trying to help you.

the army from 1969 - 1980.
