ok when i was running Knppix 3.9
and surfing the web. i was asked the "ecripted"
thingy, cant remeber what its calld but, it would ask to keep engryption or not on web pages, some like yahoo games. ect.
i got tierd of clicking allow so i clicked the check box to remeber the option i chose for all sites....
and when i went to another site, Knoppix froze.....the cdrom was spinning and reading for hours. till i gave up and shutdown my laptop.
now when i reboot my laptop, and place a knoppix disc, any version. it wont read it.... and sometimes my cdrom tells me after going through its loading thing that theres a disk read error
now my laptop, im awaiting on a new hard drive. its in the mail....is there a way to get my cdrom back to using knoppix and my cdrom workign agen?
i tried holding the power button with no batterie or power cord to it to drain all power from it, and then reboot....but still no go.
i tried using a cdrom cleaning disc, no go.
ittl spin and atmpt to read, and make kinda a sqeeling noise. but nothing more. it wont even read any disks......
i know that this might not be a linux prob but since i was using Knoppix 3.9 id thought i would post here....
