Where have you been, AcaCandy?

Anyway you're here now and Marlene's difficulties are about to be solved. You have more tricks up your sleeve than your cat's gun has bullets.

Welcome, and make sure you are up early tomorrow.

Ben.

good night you guys. Mar will be tickled pink that everyone is trying to tell her how to get it fixed. We've got a few new things to try tomorrow so hope is not lost yet! Maybe one of those will be the magic cure.

Well, if that isn't rhetorical, I was at the flea market most of the morning, then I cooked a fabulous dinner of chicken enchiladas from scratch

Am I excused? BEN


And, yes, I'll be here at stock market :30 or there about

Waiting. It's way past :30 (whatever that is).

I'm here Just looking through the latest emails. Looks like I've missed nothing yet

Morning Aca,

It occurs to me that when valley conveys to Marlene that she should press/hit F10 on boot up, will Marlene know why she is where she finds herself to be and what it is she is looking for?

I would like to ask, cos I haven't a clue, if my C: drive doesn't show against Primary in the BIOS what would show there? At the moment I recall seeing 'Auto' until I highlighted it and pressed Enter when I saw the detail of the drive. But if nothing or something nasty like Oops did show what would that mean?

Its a fine day in the forest of the Pacific NW and I hear lots of tweeting - but then I hear that whether or no. Trusting the stocks are on the up.

Ben.

Just to update..I tried calling but it went to her voicemail. I know she's home! Maybe she's napping. Kinda hard to catch her at the right time. Its easier for me to call her when the baby is either eating or sleeping, lol. He's having his lunch now! Hope she calls soon. If not then i'll try to sneak a call in this afternoon to have her try the "dir" command as well as the F10.

Like Ben said...if she gets into BIOS, what should I tell her to look for?

[~Candy~]

She wants to be certain that the hard drive is there, and that the cdrom is the first boot device, if she is going to attempt a reinstall or complete restore (complete restore will lose everything and put the system back to when it was purchased).
