Well it didn't exactly "rescue" me from troubles, but... I'll tell you my story.\nI have a Dell Inspiron notebook. All of a sudden, my hard disk purred and crashed! (I had WinXP Pro in the hard disk)\nOh great! what am I gonna do? I dont have any money to buy a new hard disk, and my dad is gonna kill me if he gets to know about this.\nI got an idea! I whipped out all the free DVDs I got with magazines and found one that had a GamesKnoppix ISO file. Took that DVD to a studio, and got the ISO burned to a CD-R.\nCame home, put in the CD, set the BIOS to boot from it, and voila! Linux-on-CD!\nI have a 64MB flash drive, so I made that a "mini-hard-disk" for my Live CD, so that I can store the settings and retrieve them the next time I boot Linux. I just need to enter a small instruction, and the OS automatically retrieves the settings stored there and applies them.\nLife's good with the Linux. I'm able to browse with Mozilla Firefox, chat with Gaim, edit HTML stuff with KWrite (it's so much better than Windows Notepad) and have fun checking out Linux and playing with Terminal. It's cool!\n\nBut I still miss Windows XP :((\n_______\nViva La Dvorak! - www.dvzine.org

Ok, that's a "classic" problem, I guess...\n\nI have two solutions...\n\n1) If the CD that you are trying to access is burned, then it's a good chance that the CD was not burned properly. "Not burned properly" could mean one of two things: it wasn't finalized (which really only affects audio CD players) or that the information was not burned to the CD. If the CD wasn't finalized (which shouldn't cause a problem for a computer since multi-session discs which allow you to add data to a CD more than one time play fine "un-finalized") you should re-open the program that you used to burn the CD and finalize it. I am unsure which program you may have used, but the terminology of "finalize" could also be "close session" or something to the effect of "don't allow any more writing of data." \n\n2) You should replace your DVD writer (you said that you had a combo drive?). You don't have to replace the entire computer...that's preposterous and like treating a sore thumb with amputation of the arm. The beauty of computers is their modular make up, where if one thing goes wrong, or becomes obselete, you can just replace that. Don't feel like you were misused by the store or company; these things are made in factories at high rates by machines that may make mistakes from time to time. To me it isn't worth it to try to get it repaired because these things are so accessible to the average joe, that you could probably buy one for less than it would cost to get fixed. \n\nIn the end, computer "problems" are really computer solutions waiting to happen. The more problems that you have and fix, the more you learn...until finally you need no one's help. The next thing that you know, you'll be finding computers to fix...you might even get into computer tweaking and overclocking...\n\nBut let's get the drive right first...:=)\n\nHope that helps...!

A lot of people feel that since the internet has opened so many doors, that they should get free music.\n\nPersonally I find it sickening. If you steal from a bank, it's wrong--everyone knows that. If you steal from an old woman, it's wrong--everyone knows that. But if you steal songs from the internet, all of a sudden it's okay.\n\nI for one purchase my music. No too long ago we didn't have the choice of creating our own CDs. Taking advantage of downloading music illegally is never going to end well.

Not mine I'm afraid, but a friend emailed and told me about this guy that bought an electronic stun-gun for his wife's personal safety. He didn't want to give it to her without being sure it would work when needed so decided to test it on himself.\n\nWhen he finally came to, it was because the spasms of his muscles had eventually jerked the device out of his hand, but he still felt groggy for quite a while\n\nThere was also the person who dropped their cellphone in the toilet. For the 2nd time. Still having trouble keeping a straight face about that one.

We've chosen to go indepenent, since you can last longer that way. It's much harder, but you don't have to worry about beaurocracy and politics. But I'm open minded. I'd like to hear about it...\n\nAdd on: Oh I thought you said RECORD deal. What you're talking about is a new idea for recording. I like it actually. What I'm thinking is that it wouldn't be good in the class room (might come off the wrong way IN class), but if a student was having a hard time remembering stuff, the teacher could pick out the favorite genre of that student and then give them a CD with that stuff in the lyrics, and then they could listen to it while driving and actually enjoy the music in the background. The problem is with ADD and ADHD (I'm ADHD) you tend to listen more to the music and ignore the lyrics. But there would be so much material you could use. That sounds like it could make alot of money IF you didn't make it lame. (Which is very, VERY hard these days)\n\nAnother plus: It would help to save music...Kids these days aren't really into good music.

is it okay is you steal something else from someone else from another question?  cuz i think it's hilarious so if you can i stole this from a best answer in a question.  here lemme quote it:\n\n"I was helping someone set up his computer, and he wanted to log in with a password. Now you have to understand he's got somewhat of a rebellious attitude and goes for the shock effect. So when the computer asked him to enter his password, he keys in 'penis'. I nearly fell off the chair from laughing so hard when the computer replied: \n*** PASSWORD REJECTED. NOT LONG ENOUGH ***"

One thing I've tried when the CD is bad is returning it to a different store that let's you do "same-as" exchanges.  One time I got a bad disk from Best Buy twice, so I returned it to Target for the same CD and that one was fine.  Typically, a store is going to have a crate of CDs all made at the same time.  If you get another store's crate you should be in business.

How come you have the CD but no password.\nGo and buy a genuine CD from a shop.

yes, i do!\n\nfirst, it will make an additional cd drive thru software on your cpu. then when you get an installation, audio, training cd...etc, it will make an image of that cd to your hard drive. now you can take that physical cd and put it on your shelf. you won't need it until you crash your hard drive. the reason is you can burn another copy of that cd to a blank cd. the second thing you can do is run that cd on your hard drive without the physical cd you put on the shelf.\n\nif you're like me and have a laptop this is valuable. i use it to keep my training, install & software cds i get from my job on my laptop. i can bring up, one at a time, the cd to refer to my training or burn a copy on my install cds to repair a system @ work.\n\nthis basically lightens your cd wallet load or removes it depending on how you use it.\n\ni should mention though that there are alternatives out there like, iso buster. i don't know however if you can run the cds from this like alcohol 120%.

Sounds like you do too.\n\nHow about you all email ME a kind message... I am really grieving for my mom today.  This makes me want to stay home because I can NOT be a brat with out witnesses.

Trust me, the mp3s don't sound as good as your CDs. Like you, I've spent a great deal of money on CDs, but I also own an iPod so I can take my catalog on the go. I've used the standard compression of 128kbps to transfer my music to iTunes and at that rate, about 1.4 hours only takes 80Mb of space, where 80 minutes of uncompressed audio on a CD uses 700Mb of space. That means there is a lot of information thrown away in the compression process. Now for what it is, it sounds very good, but the hard copy CD will always be better sounding than the mp3. Some people say they don't hear the difference, others do....that includes me! While listening in the car with road noise and other distracting sounds, that's a fair trade off for me, but when I get home, the CDs still go in the expensive sound equipment because at home it's quiet and I can hear what's missing from the mp3s. So don't go selling off your CD collection because computers crash and mp3 players crash. Sometimes lightening gets it all at the same time....I've had it happen. You'll need the hard copies to re-load the computer and mp3 player. Because of that, I've loaded everything on an external hard drive and keep it away from the computer unless I need to update it. Oh, even though I've loaded all of my album artwork to my computer and iPod, you can't go through the pages and read the liner notes and stuff on an mp3 player...\n\nIt is nice to pull any album I want in the car or randomly shuffle tunes I haven't heard in a long time without searching through my collection of CDs.\n\nOne day someone may be looking for something you have and you can say "Oh yes, I have an original uncompressed CD if you would like a hard copy of it". I do have a few CDs that are long out of print and you can't even find them online for download!\n\nBuying CDs was a good choice...be proud of your collection!!
