thanks for the help. I left my phone in the message so I could be contacted directly. I really hated losing that powerbook. I even tried salvaging the HD from it. that was toast as well (heat does some serious things). come to think of it, this is the first time I have asked for this kind of help. it's a humbling experience. I hope to be able to "pay it forward" as soon as I can get employment (assuming that VR gets the ball rolling). this may take a few months or a year (I hope not this long). believe me guys, I do appreciate the help and am willing to help out wherever possible. if you have something I can do given my current skills, I'd be more than willing to participate. -Eric On Jun 11, 2011, at 1:49 PM, James Crawford wrote: > Fujitsu Lifebook V series Core 2 Duo, purchased just before MS cutoff sales fo XP. > > SysRescue had no issues with the hardware, and right now the backlight seams to be ok. > > DBAN just finished so it should be ready. > > > We need to make arrangements to get it to you. > > Anyone on East side headed out to Eric's side of town any time soon? > > I'm located in the 60 and 202 area. > > > James > > > > PS I get the list as a digest, so it may be a bit before I respon. > > > On 06/11/2011 06:35 AM, James Crawford wrote: >> Eric, >> I have a Fujisu (sp) laptop the back light is having issues but still works. >> Currently running XP-SP3 I would wipe its HD with DBAN, and could do an initial install. >> I currently have ISOs for Ubuntu 10.4, 10.10, Fedora 14, and 15 burned ( along with a few older distros). >> >> I will do the wipe this weekend. >> >> James C. > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
