chumblaka Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 I tried to follow both those links as best i could. and now when i turn on the computer without the dvd i just get a blinking line _ over and over again. What do i do from here? Im guessing theres some progress going on, I really want my machine to work!
