ok,
I have a bit of a hardware question to ask.
when my past PSU died (taking a motherboard and HD with it)
did it also take out the cd-rw I had in that box?
the reason I ask is this:
I was getting some strangeness inthe dmesg startup text (see below) and it seems,
no matter what I have tried (in windows or linux) I can't get anything to write with the
cd-rw (it works great as a reader).
now, the failure is strange because when the PSU died, it only lost the 5 volt side
(+/ 5volt was measured at +/- 12 volts). the other interesting problem is, that my
large HD on the same circuit was unaffected by this (even though a smaller drive
was destroyed in the same box). is it possible that only the writer portion of the
circuitry was destroyed by this?
someone please let me know.
here is what dmesg had to say (note what my cd-rw is and note the last 50 or so lines of text):
