Cool what a benefit for the Indiana Chapter.

OK my kids computer doesn't see a cd either in the rom or the burner and it doesn't show up in my computer under the hard drive icons. My little brother made a bootable cd and it doesn't see it either. He is not conected to the net so it is not a virius to my knowledge. As for my puter just built it last tax time so I'm good.
Snowfighter has a problem with his every other day it seems.
Lenny has a problem with his also he doesn't get to use it enough.

well man it sounds like to me that either the cable is loose inside the case on the back of the cdrom drive or the cddrive may be either dying or dead. but if it was working earlier then it might be the cable on the back of the drive so just open the case and and take it off and put it right back on but if that does not help then you gots a bad drive. oh or the laser might be dirty so just use a cd laser cleaner that you can get from any store like wally world (wal-mart)

This on ALL CD's or just burnt ones?

Burned CD's sounds like he's not finalising the CD in the burning software (Nero, Roxio, etc)

Is this on multiple drives on multiple PC's right? one bad CD - ok. But more than one in the same house? ummmm hmmm something is fishy in Denmark.

Only the kids computer has problems. It won't see any cd even store bought ones. I have always had a few problems with the cd burner in it a windows conflict but it always worked. The cd rom has always been reliable. But the puter is not seeing either of them now.

Like I was saying check the cables on the back of the drives and on the motherboard. Make sure that they are on well. If the cables are on then check the bios and make sure the secondary contoller is not disabled. let me know what is going on -Nathan

I will just give me a little time.
Are you experienced in web site design? I started on my personnel site but I think the Indiana site will need to be a little more professional looking.
What I would like to see in an Indiana site would be a calender,maybe a project page, gallery, main page, and a page for links and tech articles written by us with pics. I don't know if we would need anything other than that or not.

you could just host all the pictures off of Photobucket. So it wouldn't take to much space off the site. I know a guy that is real good at websites. He's worked with me for all my needs (My record label's website and all the bands signed to it) He's done awesome work. We still need a logo don't we? Shall we all gather logos and present them at the first meeting and vote on which one we would like to use? and then we could set the site up from there.
