    Is the disc clean ? Is there more than one disc and are you putting the correct one in. Are you pressig F10 to save changes for the boot sequence

    THE TRUTH
    The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

    Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
    The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

        Just to check, have you changed the boot sequence so the HDD is the last device?

          and/or set to 'disable' then on next 'reboot' swap to first
          and/or try other devices.
