Beck, Have you actually checked in the BIOS that 1: The system is seeing the Optical Drive, and that 2: The system is actually trying to boot from the Optical drive first? If the Optical Drive died, that would explain the second problem, and usually the Boot sequence is Floppy, HDD and...

I think this prooves the point many safety campaigners have latched onto. Those using SatNav systems seem to leave common sense and good road use skills behind when using SatNav equipment. Dead end roads are usually marked, so driving into one is just stupid. SatNavs are a GUIDE, not a...

Ouch... :lol:

I think in reality the conversation would go something like this. Tony Bliar to HRH Prince Charles " Hi Chas, Camel not with you?" Cheri Bliar to HRH Prince Charles " Hello sponger, where is that Moose you married and how is the veggie patch coming?" HRH Prince Charles " So what is it...

Too true, but surely one should look at the use the appliance will actually be put too before applying diversity. He obviously feels the need for a double oven, so there is a resonable chance both will be used, and as the average hob will be used a couple of rings at a time, I would suggest...

We are at the helm, we have our hand on the tiller...but some thieving bugger nicked the rudder and no-one has noticed except for the public!!

Never use one of those ATM's that charge, they are in unregulated locations, usually corner shops and similar establishments and especially be careful when abroad. In this country I only ever use one attached to an actual Bank or Building Society, it may mean a bit of a walk, but that extra...

That's how the Iranian's do things. Parading the captives on TV makes them feel superior and stiring up tensions on the street so it looks like our people could be in harms' way is designed to force the "weak" westerners into capitulating and admitting a wrong to free their people so that Tehran...

She don't look like a dog to me, but she could be a right B itch :P

The situation in Afghanistan is simpler than many think, and the situation in Iraq is a lot more complicated than most accept. The simple reality is that Afghanistan is a just conflict, it is generally supported by the Afghan population, although many have justifiable concerns that must be...

It could also be that there is nothing wrong with the washing machine per se, but if it incorporates a lot of electronics it could be introducing harmonics on the earth which the RCD interprets as leakage current. It is a common occurance with a lot of electronic equipment that has not been...

Spark, you may be right there. I do not work in the domestic market and so my memory may be out of date on the disconnection time. Regarding putting 6mm² T&E on a 45A breaker, I would urge against such a move. Even if you utilise good quality BASEC rated cable and take into account all...

It can do. The cable loses energy along it's length, this is called VOLT DROP. It has an inherent relationship to the length of the cable, the size of the cable, the material the cable is made from and the size of load that is attached to it. If you inspect the appendices of the Wiring...

An adiabatic equation is a term used that was adopted from thermodynamics and refers to any reaction or equation where there is no net loss or gain by one of the elements in that reaction/equation. Many calculations in Airconditioning are adiabatic as the expansion or contraction of the gases...
