I recommed another technique I used when I was younger and messed with lasers in the lab. Use optical lens paper (used to be available in camera stores, in little booklets) Drop a spot of cleanest alcohol (isopropyl is good, but be careful that it's pure and the kind with added glycerin; grain alcohol is fine too) in the middle of the paper.

This fixes about half of the ones that don't read reliably anymore. If that doesn't fix it, try another drive. The lasers get weak, the optics get dirt where you can't get in and clean them.

Why don't you throw away your CDRom and use an USB key instead? everything will go faster, and you don't have to wish that your laser won't do any mistake! -- Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
Re: [Emc-users] D519MO Boot Problems.
Hi Don, I really sounds like you have a bad burn of the 10.04 live CD or your cdrom drive is having issues. I am not sure on the 8.04 messages, perhaps using the dmesg command will provide more information ( or look at /var/log/messages file to see what complaints you are getting on booting) cheers On Fri, 2010-10-01 at 16:26 -0400, Don Stanley wrote: > Hi All; > To support the Mill upgrades to EMC2 I purchased > two D510MO with 2GB RAM each and the MI-100 > chassis. > (If anyone is interested, the extra $12 and got a) > (temporature speed controlled fan cooled chassis) > (with two 4 inch wide slots and one 5.625 inch wide) > (slot and room for the extra cables) > > The problems are: > On both computers, when I boot EMC 8.04 live disk, in > the "No Change to the Computer mode" using a > USB external CD/DVD drive.
