- Last night I tried to boot my cube from the OD. The first few times I tried,
- the machine would apparently give up trying to read. Instead of the "healthy"
- chugging noises, all I heard was a feeble clicking which may have come from the
- swap drive. No errors were reported, the boot process just stopped.
-
- Eventually, it booted right. Has anyone experienced this before? Is it related
- to humidity? (condensation on the head?) Is my optical going terminal?
