After speaking with Bob Northrup on the phone last Friday, he gave me some things I could do to check my system, so today, I went down and checked it out. I managed to get to the shell OK, and check my calibration for the G-Meter, and made sure I hadn’t inadvertently done anything daft in the past. All looked good. I tried to bring up EFIS software, but it still hung. Well, that was the point I decided to try to go back to 2.14, since now I could access the shell through the menu, I should be able to see the DVD and run the restore command. WRONG!

Seems to me like the DVD is the culprit, as when I try to read it, it says “Error reading drive, abort, retry, fail” so that was that. Tomorrow, I may try to take my DVD drive from my home PC and try that. Maybe that will work.
