No snow shoes yet, but it might be a good idea soon if this stuff doesn't give over. Been snowing since I got up this morning and doesn't look like stopping. Nice though. I love snow. Still haven't got my car back yet, so doing some walking in it. Most excellent!! :)

Yay! No homework and nothing to do tonight!

Following up from last night where I had loads of homework and everything to do round the house... getting in from school only at 7, after a menotring session, drum lessons, and a japanese lesson. Then having to try to fix the two family computers.

(Anyone know why it won't realise that there is a CD-ROM drive attached? I can't figure it out... Tried reattaching the cable and everything...)

And also help my Dad prepare a slide show on GIlbert and Sullivan. And then homework for four subjects due today.

Crashed at 2 am after finsihing a sum total of one of those tasks (my Dad's thing). The rest are all still in a state of half-completion.

This was not helped by the fact that I realised I no longer have microsoft word on this computer. I was trying to type out the work in notepad, draw diagrams in paint, and then transfer them to my Dad's laptop to place in Word. (as I can't use laptop keyboards or touch pads [img]tongue.gif[/img] ).

I plan to be in bed in 5 minutes, at 9 30 :D

Have you installed any new hardrives? If you use that same ribbon to attach, say, a DVD-ROM, then you need to slave one of them. That's what I had to do, recently. [img]smile.gif[/img]
My three tests loom very close, and I'm not sure I'm ready. Pray for me, I need it!!

First thing I'd check, Callum, is to see if the OS recognizes the CD-ROM. You can see that at boot time; if it doesn't stay around long enough to read, you'll have to do the delete/F1 thing to get into the BIOS. That will show you all the devices.

You do need to make sure that multiple devices on one IDE ribbon have a slave and a master. If you don't... well, I'd expect neither device to work, but I'm not sure.

You also need to make sure it's properly connected. That includes pulling and reseating *both* ends of the ribbon cable, as well as pulling and reseating the power cable. Remember that the red stripe goes next to power... ;)

If that doesn't work, then tell us what you did in between when it worked and when it didn't... :D

And Dron_Cah, good luck on those tests!

*edit* poert? what the heck was I drinking? That should have been power...

Yeah, Drew, good luck!

I guess there's no point in offering assistance w/ the drive...I only know what Bungleau and Dron already said.

Hey, all...just dropping by to say "Physics is Phun" and then leaving.

Hello IW!
I was away for the last six days. Why? Some nasty virus I caught, chained me to my bed, teas and pills. I had a very high fever ever day, from 37 to 40 degrees. I also couldn't sleep becuase I was coffing all the time.
It's good to be back. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Glad your better Xen [img]smile.gif[/img]

It's Boro v Grazer AK (Austrian) tonight, the second leg. It is 2-2 on aggregate, so if we draw 1-1 or 0-0 we are through because of our 2 away goals.
The weather is freezing, wet, and maybe a bit snowy...should be fun :D .

Afternoon, all. I have just gotten a new module for NWN, "Kiss of Fate." It's great, thus far. It has the only hot female henchwoman that I have ever discovered that I want to throttle.

Hope you feel better now, Xen. I've been fighting a cold/virus for a week+ so I can sympathize!

LOL, that bad, Atty? Maybe it adds dimension to the mod?! :D

Xen, welcome back...sick season stinks, quite a bit.

What sport are you talking about, Ivellis?
