I could just use my redhat on this other laptop, which so happens to have an external floppy that's bootable, and a CD-rom that you have to put a paper clip in some how to get it to open, hitting the button does nothing. Someone else told me this, it appears as if someone tried prying it open, and now it doesn't work any other way. What the paper clip when put in to this mystery spot does to open the drive, I'm not sure, but they say it'd come open, but whether it'll read the CD, is another story.
