Hi Nikola,
I just finished downloading FreeSBIE and when I tried to boot it, I get
the following errors:
CD Loader 1.2
Building the boot loader arguments
Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found
Read Error: 0x10
Could not find Primary Volume Descriptor
Does this mean that my hard drive is dead and gone?
Thanking you...
