✔ Best Answer

You can't upload photos here. Upload to a host site and post a link. Also be aware that this site basically closes in 12 days, so time is of the essence. "Channeling the spirit of jboy..."

Thank you, but that's beyond me. I'm over 80 and have to have my granddaughter dial my smartphone!!! :-) Where are "host" sites? Thanks Nick message edited by Nickmel

Why are you closing?? Nick

Your site is published & live online: https://nick100745.wixsite.com/website View Site Got this far, and can't open a "blog Manager "? To create and manage your own content, open the Blog Manager by hovering over your blog feed and clicking Manage. Here you can create, edit and delete posts and manage categories. You can also update your post settings and SEO, duplicate or draft posts, turn off commenting, or delete a post altogether by clicking Edit on each blog post. Blog Feed?? Will end up taking it to a comp repair shop!!!

It's not that "we" are closing the site, the owner recently announced that traffic has dropped off significantly. Computing.net used to be the #1 computing site on the internet but traffic is down to just 2% of what it was 10 years ago. You can read about it here: https://www.computing.net/answers/t... As for your problem - do you know how to enter the BIOS & change settings? Your boot order is probably misconfigured. What you'll have to do is change the order so that the CD drive is listed before the hard drive in the boot order. Make sure to save the change before you exit. You should then be able to boot from a disc. If you post the make/model of the motherboard, one of us will dig up the manual & have a look at the BIOS section.

"Went into the bios, and it doesn't show the cd's" Upload some photos to Imgur to show us what you are looking at. Give us the links. https://i.imgur.com/

Thank you all. Someone pointed me to "Bleeping Computers" And I finally got it working, Will miss this site, came here quite often just to see others had similar problems, and learned a lot. Thanks again Nick
