Main Report or Narrative:

The lab in 204 got all new computers. For some reason, none of the disc drives on the computers wanted to read discs of any format. I looked at the BIOS settings to see if the drive was installed and being recognized by the computer and was surprised to find out that it was. I resolved the problem by right clicking on My Computer, click Properties, Hardware, Device Manager, select the drive and uninstall it. When I restarted the computer, the computer recognized the drive and installed it. it worked without problems afterwards. I then installed a networked printer on all of the computers. There was a computer in room 216 that was not starting and had a flashing amber light. Joe bought it another motherboard and replaced it but the amber light continued. I took out the power supply from one of the other computers in the lab and put it into the one that wasn't working and that did the trick. Joe is going to order a replacement power supply for the computer that we took the good one out of.
