2003 / CD ROM mounting

« on: June 20, 2003, 04:59:29 AM »

Sorry me again thanx for all your help so far.

When i start up disk first aid the cd icon is there along side my hard disk.
The info under the icon is:

(Name Unknown)
ATAPI CD-ROM,BUS 1
(Write Protected)

When I try to verify the disk it says:

Problems were found but disk First Aid cannot repair them.

My os is 8.6

Also since I have the  Apple CD/DVD Driver in my extensions folder, should this be in the "Driver" info when looking in the Apple System Profiler-Devices panel. At the moment it still says no driver info availiable.

Cheers Op

2003 / Changing cd boot key

« on: June 11, 2003, 11:35:14 PM »

I have just realised the bottom rows on my keyboard are not working.
Is there anyway to change the 'c' button normally used for booting from cd to something else e.g  q,w,e,    etc

Any help until i can get my keyboard fixed will be awesome

p.s thanx for your help so far  Paddy  and krissel

2003 / cd driver details

« on: June 10, 2003, 03:56:08 PM »

I was just wondering whether the apple system profiler should find a driver for my cd-rom or the description "Driver info not availiable" is a pretty standard answer

cheers o.p
