I need the accumulated wisdom of this astute group.
I put a fresh image, via corpnet and PXE boot, on a Satelite laptop.
Then I forgot the password I set. Guest account disabled. (thanks M$)
So, no problem, just put CD in drive, reboot, and reimage with fresh
install.
Seems that the CD is not recognized. No lights on the drive, no spinup when
disk is inserted. When I change the boot order to CD first, it skips
merrily by it, and boots from HD. When I boot with W98 boot floppy, it
seems not to see HD or CD, as it loads the ramdisk to drive C:. Yes, the HD
is formatted NTFS.
How can one determine if the CD is dead, or just has a cable loose? I am
not a laptop mechanic, but don't want to pay the Geeks $59.
Any ideas that I missed?
