[ridnlow]

HEY ALL, HAVE TWO QUESTIONS, FIRST I HAVE A THINKPAD I SERIES, NOT SURE WHICH TYPE, IT SAYS ON BACK, 2611 1410, MANUFACTURED 11/98. ALSO EVERYTHING WORKS GREAT MINUS NO POWER TO CD DRIVE OR FLOPPY, OPENED IT UP EVRYTHING IS PLUGGED IN, ALSO ON THE FRONT THE CONTROL FOR THE CD HAS NO POWER AS WELL, I WAS JUST GOING TO DO EXTERNAL CD ROM AND TRY TO UPDATE TO WIN XP AS , BUT FROM DOIN SOME RESEARCH IT MAY REQUIRE SPECIAL BOOT DISK ETC... THANKS
