Re: //gs questions



I found the passthrough plug under the cover on the back of the drive.  I
set the boot device to slot 5 but all that happens is the 3.5" disk is
kicked out and the system does not boot.

At this point I am either not holding my mouth right or I have a bad disk
mechanism.

Is there anything I missed?
