I tried to boot Damn Small Linux from a CD but it failed sometime in the middle of the process. I hit the reset button to start over and now I cannot use my CD-ROM. It will not boot from the CD drive and even in Windows if I put in a music CD it makes sounds like it's looking for something then ejects. Was something of the failed boot saved in some persistant CD drive storage? How do I get my CD-ROM back from the dead?

- 1. Diff. between DVD-RW & DVD-RAM?

Sound cable versus data cable
When one installs two cd roms in a system is it auto configured for souns via the data cable ofr does one need to have a Y cable that connects the two outputs from the cdrom drives? I need to k ow how to do this/ How does one check to see if the sound channel is operative for both drives other than trying to play them? - 3. What can't be burned onto a disc - technically speaking
My son tried to download some files he has with comic illustrations onto a disc. It said that the disc was "full" (no room left) but it was a brand new disc - never used. They were 80 minute discs from Staples. That fact that it says minutes - does that mean they are for music only? We recently had the computer upgraded from Windows 98 to XP. Could there be a compatability problem? - 4. Controller Error on CD ROM
My vanilla CD-ROM is slave to a Plextor 708A DVD writer. Both are connected on the primary IDE connector on an Asus PG5D1 motherboard. The DVD works fine but the CD-ROM cannot read data even though it is recognized by the system. Event Manager says: IO_ERR_CONTROLLER_ERROR Message: The driver detected a controller error on %1. Any ideas on how to remedy the situation? I've replaced drives and cables and the Device Manager says the CD-ROM is working fine. Should I chain the CD-ROM as a slave to a hard drive instead and chain the DVD as slave to a second hard drive and put those into a Secondary IDE connection? Any help gratefully appreciated.

5.Bootable Linux CD, preferably live CD, for Sun Ultra 5 with Debian 3.x
For various reasons, I need to break into an abandoned Ultra 5 with Debian installed, to back it up and make sure it wasn't doing anything important. Unfortunately, the owners no longer have the root password for it, and the previous person working on it left it set to require a root password to boot it single user. So I could really use a Sparc compatible rescue CD or live CD. What's the easiest and best one to use? The Debian installation CD's? Would I just need the first CD for that? (I really, really don't want to have to download all 12 of the Debian 3.1 Sparc CD's.)
