Re: [libreoffice-users] Canon USA Printer Support are using LibreOffice? boot repair

CD or DVD - it still needs to be able to boot from the DVD Drive.

I am still waiting for the laptop's tech people to send me the proper 
BIOS command and its options to add that to my laptop.

I have several different repair discs - CD and DVD. Without being able 
to boot from it, they are no use.
