Attn: Rick T and Mart. Just to Let You Know.

Hello Rick and Mart,

A long thread on June 1st. and events subsequent prompt
this post. I hope this clarifies for you both something
seemingly without resolution.

Yesterday I had success at a partition, format and install
of WinMe. I was lucky - for two hours before I began it my
EBD failed. A week prior I found that the computer's
connecting ribbon to my CDROM drives was faulty. I had
been unable to burn CDs. The ribbon I changed. The burn
fest began.

The installation was carried out using a newly created EBD
on the Add/Remove program. The drive used for the disc
insertion was my H CDROM. I accessed it, by using, in
DOS, 'With CDROM support', and at the A:\ I:.

So there it is. Too many odds against each of us. My
thanks for help past and my best wishes to you each, Rick
and Mart.

Ben.

Hey, super, glad you got it fixed; that was one of the posts that left
me going "um............." after a while.


Happy computing,

Rick

Thanks for the follow-up Ben. A faulty ribbon cable would certainly explain
an 'unrecognised' CD-ROM. Well done for seeing it through and thanks again
for 'closing the file' on this one g
